Happy Lupercalia! To celebrate the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia I’m having an ebook sale (salia, lol) from 13th to 16th February. All my fiction Kindle books are now 99p/99c on Amazon UK and US.

Lupercalia was from 13th to 15th of February, so with Valentine’s Day right in the middle of that, why not grab yourself some paranormal or psychological reads, with a good dash of dysfunctional romance. Yep, you heard that right – dysfunctional romance is more my thing than true love. Nope, I don’t really do true love in my stories at all – unless it’s between a mummified cat and her ancient goddess owner, or a woman who becomes more enamoured with her ex once he becomes a zombie, ha ha! Both of those stories are in Diabolical Dreamscapes. Want to hear about more dysfunctional romance in my books? Alright then, grab your cuppa:

In Matthew’s Twin, his girlfriend cheats on him with a mysterious stranger who comes out of a dark medieval past to destroy their lives…

In The Fairy Lights, Aisling falls in love with the ghost haunting her student accommodation. She knows he’s young, and gorgeous, and a spirit, but is he really who she thinks he is?

In The Blue Man, a grisly spectre is intent on making a festering romance happen between Megan and the man she was infatuated with since high school. Why did the sinister spectre’s fate rely on their dysfunctional union?

In The Buddha’s Bone, Kimberly escaped her abusive ex to teach English in Japan, only to be pursued by her colleague Vince, with more sinister intentions than her ex.

So there you go! Happy Valentine’s Day! May you celebrate with the living, or the dead… whatever floats your boat, lol!

Valentine’s Day and Lupercalia

What exactly is Lupercalia then? You can read about this ancient Roman fertility festival here if you’re interested. Lupercalia was typically celebrated from 13th to 15th February and derived from the Roman fertility god, Lupercus.

Valentine’s Day and Halloween chocolate moulds

Whether you’re celebrating today or not, hope you at least get to enjoy some chocolates. As for me, and my sugar-free lifestyle, I’m having fun making keto chocolates with organic coconut butter, 100% cocoa, vanilla extract, almond nut butter and raspberry vinaigrette. Yum!
