If you follow my accounts on social media, or receive newsletter updates, you will have seen that my fifth book is due for release on Saturday! The Kindle has already made it out into the world, but I've been waiting to share the paperback. This novel takes a huge step away from my YA fantasy series (don't worry, I haven't abandoned my fantasy readers) into the literary fiction space.

I loved writing this book and I hope readers old and new will enjoy the story:
Edge of the Shore is a poignant and at times heartbreaking narrative about grief, friendship, belonging, and the power of music and the sea.
Isle of Portland, 1951
For blind orphan, Enna Eden, life is tough. Isolated by her community, she seeks solace in the waves and sky.
When she meets Kai, a fellow outcast, everything changes. The old man introduces her to an ancient violin and teaches her how to play. Music reveals a new world to Enna, one of infinite beauty and colour.
As she comes of age, Enna searches for somewhere to belong. Set adrift by life's adversities, she finds anchor in Kai's friendship and in the enduring presence of the sea.
