You've found the books.
Now let's find the right one for you.
I write two very different kinds of story — paranormal romance and paranormal mystery — and where you start depends entirely on what you're in the mood for. If you want romance with folklore woven through it, start with Saltmere. If you want mystery with magic that feels genuinely old and strange, start with Môrlan. If you want both eventually, brilliant — most readers end up in both places.
Stormbound (Witches of Môrlan, book 1)
This is my most recently published book, Stormbound. Cate Morgan has questions. Why did her mother flee this Welsh coastal town thirty years ago and never look back? What happened here that she refuses to speak of? Taking the harbourmaster job in Môrlan feels less like a career move and more like the only way she'll ever find out.
Within days of arriving, Cate finds herself drawn into a circle of witches who practise a magic she recognises in her bones — older and stranger than anything she taught herself: a baker who reads the truth beneath words, a forensic pathologist who speaks with the dead, a blacksmith who forges protection into iron, and a powerful witch with an Otherworld hound. They don't know her mother. But someone in Môrlan does. Someone who's been burying secrets for decades.
The closer Cate gets to the truth, the more dangerous the questions become. Because whatever happened to her mother thirty years ago is still happening.

Here’s the tea on each series
The Saltmere Chronicles · Paranormal romance · Six standalone novels · Complete series
Saltmere is a Cornish fishing village that doesn't appear on any map, where the sea has a long memory and the old magic never quite left. Each book follows a new couple — their story is complete, their ending is earned — but the village and its people carry through all six books.
These are atmospheric, romantic reads. The Cornish coast does as much work as the characters, the folklore is woven in rather than bolted on, and every couple has something genuinely in the way before they find each other.

The Witches of Môrlan · Paranormal mystery · Ongoing series · Sea Touched launching 22-Jun-26
Môrlan is a Welsh coastal town where the boundary between this world and the Otherworld is thinner than it should be. The magic here is old Welsh folklore — Cŵn Annwn, the King of Annwn, creatures from mythology that don't behave the way you'd expect — and it doesn't particularly care about being convenient or explicable.
Each book follows a new central character from within the community, drawn into a mystery that has roots deeper than anyone anticipated. Tân, the not-quite-a-dog who belongs to no one and everyone, runs through all of them.

The Blooming Detectives · Paranormal cosy mystery · Welsh valleys · Coming December 2026
Essie wakes up with no memory and a very suspicious set of circumstances. The Blooming Detectives is warmer, funnier, and considerably more chaotic than Môrlan — magic with a lighter touch, mysteries with a higher body count, and three amateur sleuths who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing but are doing it anyway.
