Meanwhile a lot of use murderous authors, including me, have been quitely baking cakes (it's all an alibi, of course...)

BAKE, LOVE, WRITE

When USA Today best selling author, Lois Winston, came up with a brilliant idea for a different kind of collaboration I jumped at the chance to take part.

Her idea – to bring together a bunch of authors, have us share one of our favourite dessert recipes, along with some sage advice on both love and writing… and then put it all in a book.

I can't wait to try the recipies and hope you like mine...it's very Welsh and rather tipsy!

When will this book be available? I hear you ask. Soon, I’m pleased to say. Very soon.

In the meantime, I’ll whet your appetite with a sneak peak at the book cover.

Isn’t it gorgeous?

So if, like many booklovers, you have a sweet tooth… wonder what our recipes for that lasting, loving relationship would be… and/or are interested in writing, then watch this space!

Nina Milton has created a unique fictional world in her Shaman Mystery Series, featuring Sabbie Dare as a young shaman. With Beneath the Tor she passed the ultimate test of a writer, that of causing me to put off useful jobs which I really should have been doing, in order to see what happens next. She has become a mistress of plot-weaving, and above all, she pulls off the trick of setting the totally fantastic amid the totally everyday and making the two fit together with pace and excitement.

He’s the author many books including of’The Triumph of the Moon’, ‘Shamans’ and ‘Pagan Britain’)

ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW FOR IN THE MOORS

Another great review online for In the Moors, the first Shaman Mystery by Nina Milton.

Sabbie Dare, the zany, feisty heroine of Nina Milton’s In The Moors, is a city girl of mixed race and lost parentage; as a child she went into the care system and by the time she was twelve was a little fighting machine.

When we meet her, she’s 28 and clear about her path in life; she’s an eco-friendly pagan living in Somerset where she works as a therapeutic shaman. Her clients come to her for last-resort help, and such is Cliff Houghton...

Sky Light Rain is a great blogsite for readers and writers alike, with writing tips, reviews and general literary based chat and information. I'm making it one of my must-visit sites.

What do Pagan Readers think of the Shaman Mysteries?

In The Moors is the latest offering from Nina Milton, author and OBOD member, introducing the seemingly-unlikely detective Sabbie Dare. Sabbie, like all the best heroes of the crime thriller genre, is impulsive, courageous, a bit odd, and less than lucky in love. Sabbie is a shamanic counsellor, and when not tending to her chickens or chasing bargains at car boot sales, spend her days helping her clients. It is one such encounter that plunges Sabbie into a dark world of murder and horror past and present.For me, this holds its head up with the best of its genre and so comes highly recommended – and for those of you, like me, who are already hooked, the next Sabbie Dare novel is already in the pipeline. Can’t wait!

Review in Touchstone (magazine of OBOD-Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids)

A real page-turner, In the Moors cost me several hours of sleep because it was so un-put-downable! An engaging heroine, a landscape at once so real and so menacing, and an intriguing mystery had me enthralled into the wee hours! Mara Freeman

(Mara Freeman is a respected teacher of Western esoteric tradition and the author of ‘Kindling the Celtic Spirit’ & ‘Grail Alchemy’’)

I could not put down Unraveled Visions by Nina Milton. I congratulate her on a real page turner. I loved the sinister Fergus Quigg’s story of the Blarney Stone; I’ll look forward now, to reports that American Tourists will attempt to sanitize it with wetwipes before leaning in for a kiss, which could be amusing to the locals! I held on to my belief in Fergus’ innocence until the last; no man who writes in a notebook with pen could possibly be all bad, could he? But as the concluding tensions burst, and the final secrets were revealed, Unraveled Visions kept me up long past my bedtime (as promised by Mara Freeman), especially when Sabbie’s shamanic experiences with snakes became the great finishing twist. Nina Milton makes the unbelievable credible and persuasive. Ana Adnan
