Dragonfly
Dragonfly
Princess Taoshira is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil ac Burinholt in order to unite their lands. And Ramil's not too pleased either. They hate each other on sight.
So when she and Ramil are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape - either from their kidnappers or from each other.
Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their extraordinary adventure - including a circus strongman, a daring rebel leader, a sinister master of spies and the best female fighter they have ever seen - help them or betray them to the enemy..?

Coming soon...
The Glass Swallow
Rain
She designs exquisite stained glass for the windows of her city. But the law is clear — it is forbidden for girls to be part of the glassmaker's guild. To keep her secret hidden, she leaves home and travels to the strange new country of Magharna.
Peri
When he witnesses Rain's capture by a gang of bandits, both his fate and his heart becomes tied to hers. They escape the outlaws, but Peri and his family of falconers are untouchables who are scorned by all, and Rain is not allowed to be part of their lives.
Can Rain and Peri's love survive the prejudices against them? And with the city on the brink of disaster will they be able to stop their world from smashing apart?

do you think you could come to canada somtime soon ?? i'm sure there are loads of fans who would love you to come (especially me!). if you do come, you should come to montreal in quebec. i really love your books, me and my friends have read them all.
Hi Holly I was in Montreal 2 years ago and would love to visit again - it felt so French - I went to one Bistro just like the back streets of Paris. Loved it. Julia

do you know of any books that are like dragonfly (adventure/romance type stuff) and for children aged early teens? Im going to be 13 in just over a month and ive run out of dragonfly-type books to read! My friend recommended Just Henry by Michelle Magorian to me so i started reading it today, but it doesnt seem like a very dragonfly-ish book. Ive tried Eragon and it was similar except it was more fantasy-based (cos its about dragons) and i really want something that i can relate to more!Thanks! (JH is excellent but not fantasy. Have you tried books by Shannon Hale, Trudi Canavan Tamora Pierce or Garth Nix? And my own Glass Swallow is out in May. J)

Dragonfly was recommended to me by a friend and I could barely put it down from start to finish! I was just wondering whether The Glass Swallow is going to be based on a similar storyline, as it sounds from the blurb like it's going to have similar events to dragonfly -not that that's a bad thing! can't wait to read it! x (You'll have to judge but I think it is very different - it's a retelling of the credit crunch! J)

I just went through all of Dragonfly in nearly one sitting after standing in the rain for 3 hours clipping wires. Doubtless to say, it warmed up my evening! I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel to come out. Dragonfly really made me wish I lived in those times.
