Winter Warrior (Winter Witch #3) is now in paperback!

Hey kittens!

I am beyond excited to announce that Winter Warrior (Winter Witch #3) is now available in paperback!

After a devastating betrayal plunges the kingdom of Atlantica into chaos, bone witch Tally finds herself stripped of her magical abilities and forced to flee the palace with Ash, Dover, and her new husband, the uncrowned king Ford. Desperate for allies to protect their people, they seek refuge in a neighbouring kingdom. But when the Midlenes queen offers Ford a deal to reclaim his throne, Tally’s world shatters.

With her magic gone and her family torn apart, Tally and Dover embark on a daring mission to stop the war. But when Tally’s plan to assassinate the barbarian Highlander king takes an unexpected turn, she is thrust into a dangerous game of deception and survival. Now captive in a hostile court, she must navigate treacherous politics and brutal violence to outsmart her enemies and save her kingdom.

As Tally faces her most critical challenge yet, she discovers unexpected truths about her past and her heart. With her family scattered across the continent, she must find the strength to confront her greatest enemy, and save her kingdom and her loved ones, no matter the cost.

**WINTER WARRIOR is the third book in the WINTER WITCH high fantasy series, and is a full-length, medium-burn why choose novel. This means the main character has several love interests and doesn’t choose between them. There are steamy scenes, super hot protective men, and there may or may not be a cliff-hanger.**

If you’ve been waiting to hold a physical copy of Winter Warrior in your hands, now you can! It comes in a beautiful luxe matte cover, designed by the wonderful Leigh Cover Designs.

Winter Warrior (Winter Witch #3) RELEASE DAY

I need to confess that I DID SOMETHING BAD.

I kind of accidentally wrote a cliffhanger at the end of Winter’s Wrath (Winter Witch #2) and then, through no fault of my own, couldn’t publish Winter Warrior (Winter Witch #3) for 10 months!

I am SO sorry for the way I left things. And if you come back after what I did in the last book (no spoilers!), thank you for trusting me!

How I use ChatGPT In My Writing Process

ChatGPT is a powerful AI language model developed by OpenAI. It is designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the input it receives. It can generate text, provide translations, help out with suggestions after being provided with prompts, correct spelling and grammar, and engage in conversation.

As I struggle with blurbs (as a fair amount of novel writers do! Condensing an 80 thousand word novel into 300 words can be hard!) I have used ChatGPT to help me structure my blurbs to align more with existing industry standards.

This is because ChatGPT has been fed this information previously during its training, and knows and understands the strict methodology for writing a blurb. The added bonus is that it is short-form text, so it’s easy for ChatGPT to produce.

I want to make it clear that ChatGPT was fed this information largely from sources that were crawled, and not approved by the authors of their works to use in such a manner. And this is why, largely from a moral standpoint, I don’t use CHatGPT to assist with the actual production of my writing. Everything in my books comes from my own head.

However, I found a good use for ChatGPT, and that is to ask questions Google can’t answer.

For example, I needed to know what the term is when crops are disposed of because they can’t be sold.

Google couldn’t answer this. I couldn’t ask Google to define the term I was looking for because I didn’t know the term I was looking for.

Because I didn’t know what I was looking for, my input of “what are farm crops called that aren’t good enough to sell” led me to search results about making profit with crops.

But when I asked ChatGPT the same question, I got my answer straight away:

This is mostly how I use ChatGPT: to answer questions I don’t even know how to word properly for Google’s algorithm, and to help me develop my blurbs.
