"The Golden Fleck Series is an epic, fantasy adventure interspersed with romance. It spans fantasy realms and centuries in human history.
If you like a strong female leads, with a sense of humour, a shed load of personal demons, and previously untapped powers, you will enjoy tucking into this series.
If you love immersing yourself in a story that constantly weaves together threads of bravery, magic, romance, fear, loathing, loyalty, deceit, friendship, sacrifice, betrayal, heartache, and hope, then you’ll feel right at home here.
Portals, elven realm beasts, sea voyages, human realm antics, and battles abound.
I've loved dreaming up the storyline and characters. There are plot and character twists all along the way - no spoilers here 😁
If you enjoy this series half as much as I did creating it, I shall be well chuffed. "
As the moon rises over the Glasgow Necropolis, 18-year-old Annie sits among the gravestones, celebrating her birthday alone. With only a candle in a day-old muffin salvaged from a rubbish bin, she reflects on the past year and the struggles she's faced.

As the moon rises over the Glasgow Necropolis, 18-year-old Annie sits among the gravestones, celebrating her birthday alone. With only a candle in a day-old muffin salvaged from a rubbish bin, she reflects on the past year and the struggles she's faced.
Her quiet moment is suddenly interrupted by the beam of a security guard's flashlight, shining directly on her face. In a panic, Annie scrambles to get away and reaches for a gravestone for balance. As her fingertips touch the soft, green moss covering the rough stone, she's transported into a different realm.
Without warning, a horse's hooves flash millimetres from her head, and she realises she's in grave danger. But before she can even process what's happening, someone on horseback appears and reaches out his hand to her.
"Grab my arm and jump up if you want to live!" he bellows, his voice urgent and commanding.
With no better choice, Annie takes a leap of faith and grabs onto the rider's arm, pulling herself onto the horse behind him. As they gallop away from danger, she can't help but spot the two suns and wonder - where is she? And who is her rescuer?
Against the odds, Annie has brought her companions into the Human Realm in search of the precious Labradorite Amulet. Without it, the Sun Elven and Woodland Realms will permanently perish.

Hey, I’m Hil,
I’m a Lancashire Lass with a most dubious claim to fame—I almost killed Stephen Hawking while furiously pedalling to a university lecture I was woefully late for.
Born in Preston, in the land of Wallace and Gromit, my love for my northern roots often surprises and amuses my husband.
Originally a teacher by trade, I spent years creating impromptu stories for my students and sketching cartoons of my cheeky spaniels, all while weaving tales of adventure.
It was during a long recovery from a herniated disc that the Golden Fleck Series unexpectedly took root.
Frustratingly confined to rest, I took my mind on daily virtual runs with my spaniels through the nearby woodland and, in that tranquil space, I imagined magical portals — a key element in my stories.
A homeless young woman named Annie mysteriously came into my mind and my curiosity was piqued. What made her choose that life? My conversations with her led to the development of Annie’s character and she soon become the heart of the first three books in the series.
When I’m not writing and having conversations with characters who reside in my head, you can find me practicing yoga, reading, attempting classical guitar, or dancing around to my favourite songs like no-one is watching.
I'm a believer in the power of stories, the joy of running my dogs (no longer virtually!), and the importance of always staying curious.
