About Fireside Magic + ARCs

Dare to venture beyond the glass, where stories hold a mirror to our shadows…

In this sinister and spellbinding world, the veil between mortal and supernatural, magic and evil, and beauty and horror, is stretched to its thinnest.

Blood-relatives are not who they seem, black metal and witchcraft weave a rite of spring, a girl-child is blessed by a blackthorn bush, and Nicnevin, Queen of Hags, invades the dreams of the lost.

But beware the danger found within books, for once you behold your true reflection can you ever look away?

Within these pages prowl forgotten goddesses, shape-shifting hares, and merciless grandmothers. Fireside Magic is for those who find solace in dark folklore and the restless tug of the seasons.

Friends, I feel slightly apprehensive.

Fireside Magic is a darker book than Fireside Fairy Tales, and I know it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. However, this book does feel more me.

Don’t worry, the first tale eases you in whimsically enough…! I think a sinister edge was inevitable though, given the inspiration of witchcraft, magic, and ancient gods. Consider Fireside Magic the unearthly bridge between Fireside Fairy Tales and Fireside Ghosts :)

My hope is that you enjoy this second foray into the world introduced in Fireside Fairy Tales - and that new readers will join us.

Over the weekend I’ll contact my ARC readers to send them an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. If you’d like to be on the list let me know!

Normally I would allow more time between sending the ARC and publishing - but I didn’t want to delay any longer! This book has been my companion and comfort during a tricky year, and while it’s bittersweet to let go, it’s definitely time.

Join me here and on Instagram in the run-up to December 7th, where I'll share snippets of Fireside Magic and the Scottish folk belief and witchlore that inspired me.

You can also add Fireside Magic to your to-read list on Goodreads while you wait!

Deepest thanks as always for your support,
