  A Letter from Holly 🌿 Amberleigh School, Awakening Gifts & The Alliance Hi everyone, I’m Holly! I work at the Amberleigh School , where we take care of very special children. Some of our kids can get extremely sick, so having a doctor on site is an absolute lifesaver—even if it is costly! Alongside my work at the school, I’m a grief therapist and currently studying for my FRCS Psych. It is tough going, to say the least, but I have a gorgeous boyfriend named James (who is from bonnie Scotland!) keeping me grounded through it all. 💙 🛡️ My Connection to the Alliance How am I connected to the Ripples of Blaine series? Well, like most of my close friends, I’m part of the Alliance . Together, we manage extraordinary events and help individuals who are extraordinarily challenged. Some of these young awakenings genuinely believe they are afflicted or broken. Our goal is to guide them so they realize they are gifted —tho...

A quick word from Alex

  A Quick Word from Alex Plus: Is DCI Fenner knocking on my door?! Hi, I'm Alex! You can follow me over on Facebook, but bear in mind—my character is a very busy medical practitioner in a virtual medical centre, so I definitely don't answer real-world medical questions! I might answer questions about the book, though... assuming I’m not too busy. Who is your favourite character so far? I am Team Ava through and through. Well, she's my in-character wife, so I think if I were Team anyone else, her adorable Mum Jamie and her equally wonderful Dad Ewan would have something to say about it! So, what have I been up to lately? Well, sometimes I spend time with my daughter, Grace. If you’ve read Book One, Iridescence of a Raven , you know we really have our hands full at present! My beautiful wife is always on my mind, though sometimes she thinks I’m a bloody cat... but we won't talk about that! What else can I tell you? Well, I’...

Its Almost Spooky Season

  Blog Review Showcase Opalescence of a Raven ★★★★★  |  Supernatural / Psychological Dark Fantasy “An explosive, heart-wrenching triumph where the silenced finally find their voice.” Opalescence of a Raven is an absolute tour de force. Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, this third instalment in the Ripples of Blaine series takes the stakes to an entirely new level. At the dark heart of Birch Hall lies a chilling reality: children who are too terrified to speak. Justine’s heart-shattering whimper— “I can’t tell you” —isn't just a line in a story; it echoes a devastating real-world truth about silenced children. But when those silences are finally shattered, the consequences are explosive. As secrets unravel and a life hangs precariously in the balance within the walls of a PICU, the world surrounding the characters begins to crumble. The supernatural elements blend seamlessly ...
  The Complete Guide to Ripples of Blaine: From Silence to Shadows If you are new to the Ripples of Blaine universe—or just need a refresher before our next chapter—here is the complete breakdown of the trilogy so far, where the lore stems from, and a glimpse at what lies ahead in Camberlain County. Book 1: Iridescence of a Raven Where the Silence Begins When young Autumn is brought back to her family’s estate following a sudden tragedy, she knows nothing of the supernatural legacy waiting for her. She only knows the heavy weight of silence. Iridescence of a Raven marks the beginning of the journey, introducing the Alliance—a powerful, fractured family forced to reckon with dark secrets, ancient practices of "purging," and a chilling inherited power passed down through bloodlines. As secrets surface—from veterinarian serum trials to physical scars—the family realizes that their supernatural gifts are far more complex—and far more...
