I'm thrilled to finally share some big news with you—Forest Through the Trees is now available on Audible!

This isn’t just another book launch. This is a personal milestone. Forest Through the Trees is my first-ever audiobook, narrated by the incredibly talented John Gibson, and it's available now through Audible, Amazon, or with an Audible subscription.

🌲 What is Forest Through the Trees?

This collection brings together some of my most popular early works—stories that explore the strange, the suspenseful, and the downright unsettling. If you enjoy tales that twist your expectations and keep you thinking long after they’re over, this one’s for you.

From psychological suspense and moral dilemmas to eerie supernatural events, Forest Through the Trees is a journey through the dark and mysterious corners of the human experience. These are stories that defined my voice as an author—stories that readers have connected with, reviewed, and remembered.

2024 has been a transformative year in my writing journey, filled with milestones I never imagined reaching. From publishing the second instalment in the Eldenhaven series, Protect Me Lord, to compiling a decade’s worth of creativity into Forest Through the Trees, this year has been all about growth, reflection, and embracing challenges.

Each project brought its own set of lessons. I found new storytelling rhythms, explored fresh genres, and even saw one of my works, The Girl in the Forest, climb to #2 in Amazon’s Best Sellers for 90-Minute Short Reads. It’s a year that has solidified my passion for creating new worlds and sharing them with readers like you.

If you’ve ever wondered about the stories behind the stories, join me as I revisit the highlights of this incredible year, reflect on lessons learned, and look ahead to an even brighter 2025.

James Clear introduces the idea of Atomic Habits, which are minimal, incremental changes. For example, if your goal is to read more, instead of committing to a daunting target like “read X number of books this year,” Clear suggests a more straightforward approach: “read one page a day.” This modest goal is easier to achieve, reducing the likelihood of failure and fostering a consistent reading habit. Over time, these small steps accumulate, leading to the achievement of larger goals.

Self-publishing through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing is an empowering journey that allows you to bring your creative visions to a global audience. The process, while straightforward, requires a mix of creativity, attention to detail, and business acumen. From crafting a compelling manuscript and designing an eye-catching cover to setting the right price and marketing your book, each step plays a crucial role in your book’s success.

One of the most important aspects of self-publishing is perseverance. Success rarely happens overnight, and staying patient and persistent is essential. Marketing is a continuous effort—think of ways to engage with your readers, utilize social media, run promotions, and consider enrolling in programs like KDP Select to increase your book’s visibility.
