“A master of words, yet I could take you apart with my silver tongue if I truly tried,” Loki commented. “I bet you say that to all the boys.” The prince retorted rolling his eyes.
Loki is tired of his existence, looking for a way to hold on after Odin took everything from him or at the very least, a permanent escape from his pain.

Stuart is a Prince, looking for a marriage to unite his kingdom and crown him King. Sent on a mission to destroy the evil mage in the mountains to earn the hand of the fair princess.

Nothing is as it seems when Stuart discovers that Loki is neither evil nor does the kingdom want him to successfully marry the princess. As they are thrown together trying to break a curse, can they find love in each other's arms?

Tell your readers a little about yourself, where you grew up, where you live now, where you went to school etc. Let them get to know the personal you.

I’m from the UK. I’m bisexual, I love reading crime and fantasy books. My favorite authors include Neil Gaimon, Darren Shan, Laurie King, and Lauren Kate.

What inspired you to author this book?

I have always loved the character of Loki since I was mine and discovered he was the god of being naughty. Reading books on Norse mythology through my teens, long before Marvel brought in the amazing Tom Hiddleston and made him sexy. This whole book came from one short prompt I saw on social media and the next thing I know I am
The proud owner of a full novella.

Where did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?

The cover was made by the amazingly talented Rue Volley. I saw the original image on a stock site which just captured the tired older God perfectly. Then Rue made it look like a best seller. I adore my cover.




Who has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?

Neil Gaimon. I fell in love with his book Neverwhere when I was a sickly teen. His special brand of darkness and twists on stories has stayed with me ever since. I knew I wanted to play people’s emotions with the same skill he did mine that first read.

What were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?

Mostly time frames. I work full time and travel a lot in my mortal job. Which often makes finding both time and head space to write extremely challenging.

What do you consider your greatest success in life?

Getting a publishing deal after everyone told me it was impossible being dyslexic.

What one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?
