You Read My Books but Won’t Give Me Your Email? Rude. #SupportYourSassyAuthor #AliensAreLessJudgy #MailchimpRegret

 I Swear I’m Not Trying to Take Over the World (But Sign Up Anyway)

So here’s the thing: I write books.

Not just any books. These are books where aliens have questionable motives, humans make worse decisions than a cat in a cardboard box, and romance happens in the middle of it all because, well, hormones don’t care about planetary politics.

You might be thinking, “Why should I give you my email address?”

Fair question.

Maybe you enjoy bonus content like deleted scenes, secret character files, or sneak peeks before anyone else sees them.
Maybe you like reading updates from authors who are 73% caffeine and 27% internet rage.
Or maybe—just maybe—you want to be prepared for when the alien committee finally takes over and I’m the only one sending out coded warnings via newsletter.

Either way, you should sign up.

I don’t bombard your inbox—mostly because I barely know how this Mailchimp thing works. If I manage to send one email a month, I’m basically a tech goddess.

But I will occasionally send goodies, exclusive content, new releases, and maybe a giveaway or two. You know. The usual bribery.

So go on. Do the thing:

Your inbox deserves a little chaos.

Still not convinced?

Here’s the kind of subject line you could receive if you join:
‘A Jelvia just broke into my flat. He’s armed, half-naked, and demanding answers… Should I make tea or take off my clothes?’

And Then There Were Six—My Final Jelvia Book Is Ready #booklaunch #Jelviabook #romancebooks

And so it happens… I’ve finished the Jelvia: Not Human series. Books 1 to 6. Phew.

It began back in 2016, before Covid, before the AI controversy, before the world decided to get even stranger than fiction. I had this idea bubbling away—what if aliens didn’t invade with laser guns, but with paperwork, manipulation, and control disguised as help? What if they were already here, and we just didn’t know it?

Fast forward a few years (and a few rewrites) and Holding Out for a Hero was born. That book kicked off what I thought might be a tidy trilogy. Ha. You’d think I’d have known better. The characters had other ideas, naturally.

Macy and Narcifer led the charge with chaos, chemistry, and more problems than they knew what to do with. Then came Courtney and Aldarn, dragging their emotional damage and impossible love into the spotlight. And of course, Phil, Oliver, Calder and the rest refused to sit quietly in the background. They all demanded to be heard. And honestly, I loved every minute of it.

That said, writing the final book—‘Til the World Falls Apart—was hard. Properly hard. Not just because it had to tie everything together, but because life got in the way in the most personal and painful way imaginable. I lost my dad while finishing this book. Watching him slip away as I wrote the ending changed me. It changed the story. It made everything more raw, more real, more honest.

So here we are. The series is complete. Six books, countless twists, a few broken hearts (mine included), and a lot of late nights.

If you’ve been following along, thank you. Truly. If you’re just discovering the series now, welcome. I hope you fall into this world the way I did.

‘Til the World Falls Apart is available now.

Now excuse me while I go lie down in a dark room and wonder what on earth I’m going to write next.

Available digitally at the moment from 6th June. Will be available in all other formats after I’ve completed the sacred ritual of uploading, checking, deleting, re-uploading, and swearing.

As a writer I like to picture my characters, maybe find a lookalike in a magazine. How do you picture yours? #writerslife #writingcommunity #scifi #books

My characters are normal, everyday people (apart from the aliens!). And as a writer I like to picture my characters, maybe find a lookalike in a magazine, but can never capture a true likeness.

I'll describe them here, but I've asked ChatGPT to draw them, and it's come up with Charlie's Angles!! How I see them in my head is so different to how they've come out. 😂😂😂

Anyhoo, let me introduce you to the main protagonist in Jelvia: Not Human--Macy Shaw.

At 24, Macy’s life has been shaped by both tragedy and determination. Losing her mother to murder when she was only twelve, she found herself cocooned by her guardians, Lisa and Dillian, who did their best to shield her from further heartbreak. 

But Macy was always ready to break out on her own. She left behind the quiet of Cornwall for the buzz of London, beginning as a gofer in the cutthroat world of journalism. She’s since hustled her way into a role as a celebrity journalist, yet she dreams of something more. Determined and ambitious, Macy wants to shed the glitz of celebrity stories and earn her place in serious journalism, where real, impactful stories await.

Nurse, Courtney Day is the daughter of Macy's guardians. 

Watching how deeply her parents cared for Macy stirred a bit of jealousy in her as a child, but in time, those feelings faded.

 Now, she and Macy share a deep bond, their friendship blossoming as they grow older. Perhaps because of those early doubts about her parents’ love, Courtney has a tendency to fall for people too quickly, often wearing her heart on her sleeve. But despite her vulnerability, her loyalty to Macy and those she loves is unwavering.

And my favourite... Phil! 

She was a joy to write. Real name Li Jing Zmin is a complex fiery presence with a mind that races in all directions. Autistic, bipolar, and managing ADHD, she’s known for her bluntness and unfiltered honesty, qualities that sometimes catch people off guard. 

Her love for Oliver is fierce and consuming (as his is for her), though it runs nearly parallel to her intense fixation on revealing the truth of the alien invasion to a world still in the dark with her Wake Up Movement protests.

Her passion and relentless pursuit of justice fuel her every move, making her a force to be reckoned with.

Jelvia: Not Human

Holding out for a Hero #1

Surviving her Dominant #2

Spider #3

Moon and Back #4

Nemesis #5

Til the World falls Apart #6

This is a story where humans unknowingly coexist with the Jelvias—a powerful alien race exiled to Earth with a mission to cleanse their home of the unwanted. Disease-resistant, imposing, and venomous, the Jelvias embedded themselves into our world.

It was meant as a quiet takeover, but a fractured command system leaves the Jelvias believing they belong here, sparking a conflict that engulfs both species.

In this thrilling saga, each character—Macy, a journalist drawn into a dangerous romance; Courtney, whose fears become entangled with an alien's obsession; and Phil, a fervent activist forced to confront her own beliefs—finds themselves on the frontlines of an emerging war. Their intertwined fates lead to a final battle that could upend human existence or redefine it.

Across love, betrayal, and survival, Jelvia: Not Human explores what happens when humanity no longer holds its own in a world transformed.

Snippet from Chapter Three

There was no more shouting. All was quiet and peaceful. Jenny opened her eyes, and as awareness caught up, she flipped to her side and looked to the top. With dread, she rose and scrambled to the summit. It felt like a mountain.

Expecting to find Bodie and Matt dead, their bodies ripped in a frenzy under the clawed hands of the alien, she was relieved to see the men and the buggies were gone.

A glint of sunlight reflecting on something in the sky caught her eye. The buggies, now small space shuttles, were journeying back to Taurus as if being hauled back up by an invisible string.

Jenny climbed into her buggy. With shaking hands, she pressed the controls; nothing happened. She spoke into the transmitter but remembered that Kate was malfunctioning.

Her buggy was utterly immobilised.

‘Shit,’ she said or tried to say. Instead, her voice was nothing but a rasp. It felt sore, but ignoring it, she pressed more buttons on the screen display. She pumped the accelerator, but nothing happened. She couldn’t even close the buggy; instead, it remained open-topped.

She climbed back out, her hands on her head as panic held her in its grip. She looked at the sky and saw a glint of light reflecting off one of the buggies.

It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. Breathe, Jenny, breathe.

She touched her throat. It was so sore, and she suspected she had alien finger marks around her throat. But she had a bigger problem in the shape of a huge alien creature with clawed, humanlike hands. She glanced around her. There was no sign of it. Surely it would’ve returned to ensure she was dead after chasing off the men.

Unless it’d gained access to one of the buggies and was heading towards Taurus.

The thought was unwelcome and quickly dismissed. Kate was programmed to destroy an intruder immediately.

But she wasn’t working.

She closed her eyes briefly. She couldn’t think that way. The alien’s body would be cast out into space when it tried to gain entry.

She climbed back inside the buggy. She’d be OK. Bodie or Matt would realise she’d been left behind. One of them would override Kate to get her vehicle operational. She’d wait.

She looked upward at the now empty blue sky.

Won’t be long now, she thought.

Around her, all she could hear was the pounding of her heart. It was a lonely sound. She sat for a long time with her head tilted back, looking up at the sky’s vastness and emptiness.

But did you know there was a book two?

Jelvia: Not Human

Series #1

We humans have always outnumbered Jelvias—that was until falling birth rates became a reality.

And now the Jelvia: bigger, stronger, disease and injury resistant—and venomous—looks set to topple us from world domination.

Some say it’s too late to acknowledge the invisible technology that distorts the truth about the Jelvian timeline. And others live in oblivion knowing—or not wanting to know—that there is no scientific proof sustaining that Jelvias evolved alongside us on our planet; they don’t question why there is no photography, ancient books, or old Jelvian fossils, or even why they aren’t any old Jelvias.

They definitely don’t recognise the danger we are in.

And journalist, Macy Shaw, is one of those people.

When she was twelve years old, her mother was murdered, and subconsciously ever since, Macy’s been searching for a hero. But the hero she found was a Jelvia. Undeterred, she used her connections to go after the biggest story of her life.

Narcifer saved a woman by merely being a Jelvia—his presence causing terror and making the assailants flee. And it amused him when his “heroism” created a national stir, so when a pretty little red-head asked to interview him for a story, Narcifer felt compelled to grant it to her, especially when she gave all the signals that she wanted more than a story.

However, on the night Narcifer inadvertently became a hero, he had been tracking a scientist with orders to kill, and strangely no matter where Narcifer’s line of investigation took him, his search always brought back to the red-headed journalist, Macy Shaw.

This book is the first in the JELVIA: NOT HUMAN series.

Each book will slowly reveal the true identity of the Jelvia.

JELVIA: NOT HUMAN books can be read as a standalone novel, although you’ll gain a better understanding of the Jelvian world by reading in order.

Based on the story Eden by Louise Wise.

✯✰ Narcifer might be extraordinarily attractive, but he is a venomous Jelvia—a species that detest the human race. ✯✰ 💋 Holding out for a Hero #1 🔥 #over18 #bookworm #inlust #fatedmates #Read4Fun #TBRList

Primal. Savage. Untamed.

An alternate Earth where humans live alongside another species.

When she was twelve years old, her mother was murdered—and ever since Macy Shaw had been subconsciously searching for a hero to protect the defenceless.

But the hero she found was a Jelvia—a species deadly to humans.

When her friend was rescued by a Jelvia, Macy used her connections as a journalist to go after the biggest story of her life.

Narcifer saved a woman by merely being Jelvian—his presence striking terror in the hearts of the men who were attacking her.

So when a red-headed reporter not only began asking questions about his ‘heroism’ but brazenly offered her business card, his interest was piqued.

Narcifer was tracking a scientist who had been imprisoning and conducting experiments on Jelvias—but no matter where Narcifer’s line of investigation took him, he was always brought back to the red-headed journalist, Macy Shaw.

Was she involved? If so, she was guaranteed to die.

His orders were to track Macy.

But he went one step further.

Overall backstory of the Jelvia: Not Human series, which will be told in time through the books:

Imagine a world where humans aren’t the supreme being. But it’s still the 21^st century. We still go out to work, enjoy vacations and watch Netflix on the TV.

But in this world, living alongside us is a species called Jelvia. They are stronger, bigger, venomous—in short, superhuman. But they cannot be called ‘human’, nor do they want to do. They regard themselves as superior to us.

Jelvians are predators—and humans are their prey, but as our population declines, they realise we need to be rationed. To accomplish this, they kill our criminals instead. 

They are judge, jury and executioner—but never believe they are vigilantes, killing the bad.

They are more than that.

Much more.

Jelvias have been grooming us to live our lives in ignorance of their existence.  No one knows for certain how the Jelvias came to be. No one can remember a time when the Jelvia didn’t exist, but no one knows anything about their evolution.

People who question the timeline of the Jelvia, die.

People who ask questions about the Jelvia, die.

This is a contemporary sci-fi with romance and intrigue. No cliff-hanger. No cheating. HEA at the end of each book. Contains mature themes including explicit language, violence, and descriptive sex scenes. 18+
