Living in north Devon in a beautiful rural cottage with her family, hubby, and two girls, there is much inspiration all around Josephine. There are rolling green hills and forests, but she is doubly lucky to have beautiful beaches and the tumultuous coastline near too. So many tales to tell and plenty of inspiration all around her.

Josephine has been writing for more years than she cares to admit. Lol. She started in her early 20s and read anything and everything before then. However, as with many of us, life got in the way, and encouragement was lacking, so her ambition got shelved, or more to the point, packed into a case.

After a strange couple of years, with the help and encouragement of a great husband and children, who Josephine admits to being her very own ‘hero, ‘ decided to pick it up again, with renewed vigor and determination, as life is very often too short. Being an indie publisher became her goal. And this is where she sits now, having written and published 16 Fantasy books. Josephine much prefers Fantasy romance, as you can let your imagination run wild within fantasy. But Josephine also admits to having learned from many brilliant writers who have offered advice.

She has delved into different genres under the umbrella of Fantasy Romance, admitting she is addicted to Romance and all its sauciness. Listen, the Chronicles of Araceli … was the first that Josephine published.

Would you want a better life? Evie did. Her life, body, and soul were hanging by a thread. Nothing had turned out as she had imagined when she was younger. When a stranger, who she quickly dismissed as a crackpot, asked her if she wanted more from her life? It all changed. What started well and like a dream soon changed, and the nightmare began. Yet, before the good comes the bad. Where her life would go now was anyone’s guess. Fated mates ripped apart before they even met. Could both survive to fulfill the Goddess’s wish? In a land of folklore, fairy tales, and magic, could they survive? Would both have the power of the God’s to get them through? Because their journey would be alone.
