17 year old Cora Hunt has one wish, to live the life of a normal teenager. Her wish never comes true.
After her reluctant move to a sleepy village in the middle of Lancashire Cora's life is turned upside down when she discovers she is a witch. Cora is not just any old witch, she is the daughter of Alizon Device who was one of the most powerful witches of her time.
Dealing with her new found powers is quite a challenge, but when the past she didn't know about unearths new complications in the form of Jack Thomas, her life becomes increasingly dangerous with each waking minute. Jack also has a secret past, a past that clashes with Cora's.
A confrontation between the two results in a life or death situation. The brutal events of 1612 happened hundreds of years ago, but what Jack and Cora face is a definite déjà vu.
The only question is, will their fate be the same as those who perished in 1612?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I've always loved reading, it is a common known fact that I pretty much demolish a book a day. Expensive hobby, but a great one! I've dabbled with writing since the day I could actually write. So, it was only fitting that I had my first book published when I was 15.
If I'm not writing you would generally find me reading, creating jewellery, trawling social networking sites and listening to music. I will pretty much listen to any kind of music but I have two favourites, country music which has been with me since I was a little toddler and I also love to listen to movie scores, especially when I'm writing!
I currently live in Yorkshire with my husband.

What is the name of your latest book, and if you had
to summarise it in less than 20 words what would you say?
My latest book is called Before and it is a novella that
follows on from Returned. To summarise it is a book about love, loss and the
lengths one will go to protect the ones they love.
How did you come up with the title and cover designs?
Who designed the front cover?
I came up with the title after I’d written the book. I
liked that Returned was one word so Before had to be too J
The cover is designed by the amazing Phatpuppy Designs and the Font Diva. I
can’t thank the two ladies enough!
How did you come up with the character names and place
names in your books?
My books revolve around the witch trials of 1612 in
Lancashire. I made up place names and put them in Lancashire. The character
names are some of the names from the trials, obviously the characteristics are
different and some of the vents, but the names remain the same. Names of the
coven members are the ones I made up J
What do you do to unwind and relax? Do you have a
hobby?
I tend to read or watch many films or series. I love
shutting down, eating chocolate and watching the box
Do you work another job as well as your writing work?
I work in a school full time teaching students to read J
So basically I bring my passion into work, it is ace!
Thank you for having me J
