Helen Speaks

Hi all, I’m excited to tell you that I am going to be publishing the Magical Years of Lucy Skylark and Olive Framley this year in instalments, starting on Tuesday 3rd March, and then twice weekly as soon as Olive shows up.

I’ve been thinking how the term “cosy” is a bit overused these days, but heck, they are cosy modern fantasy adventure coming-of-age stories starring teenage witches – the down-to-earth Lucy and the upper-class Olive, as they navigate hauntings, Saturday jobs, the Fae, talking blue-tits and picking yourself up after making a bit of a twit of yourself.

I’ve been posting these letters on this site already but I’ve edited them to make them more friendly to new readers, no major plot changes but easier to follow and therefore more enjoyable.

Please do subscribe – the first of Lucy’s letters will drop on 10am 3rd March, and you can get updates straight to your email.
