As a child, I had an incredibly active imagination, always searching for magic in the boring mundane world around me. I would call out to unicorns in the misty forests, try to spot mermaids hiding in the seafoam along the coast, and stare at dark corners of the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever it was that went bump in the night. My childhood was spent searching for something that wasn't there, and eventually, something found me.

The characters that you'll meet in the HellFire Series have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. They've always been there, whispering in my ear, urging me to join them on their journey. For a long time, I tried to ignore them and carry on with my life, but they never stopped murmuring in the shadows. They knew I couldn't resist them forever. I never quite felt like I belonged in this world, and their whispers kept me on the edge of sanity.

I have spent years listening to their whispers and scouring their world in the tiny glimpses they gave me. And finally, these books are the result. It's a mad, chaotic place, teeming with creatures from the murky swamps to the glistening peaks. I'm truly sorry it took me so long to bring you here, but I hope you'll allow them to enter your imagination and take a look around. Just be careful to remember the rules…

• Never give a faerie your name.

• Many fey cannot enter your home unless invited, so be mindful of who you let in.

• Don't make deals with the fey, as they will twist your words to their own ends.

• Be cautious of any gifts that you are offered as everything comes with strings.

• Last but not least, the more you think about the fey, the more power they have over you. 

Besides……the fey cannot inhabit the dark corners of your mind unless you have invited them in first…and the longer they spend causing mischief in the corners of your mind gives me more space in mine.
