🐉 Back to Writing, Midpoint Milestone & A Bit of Back Pain | Author Diary – June 6, 2025 📚🦌

After taking last week off, I’m back at the writing desk and making great progress on The Prince and the Fool (Ravenglass Legends, Book 4).

I’ve just hit the mid-point of the book—and the series itself!

I’ll be sharing unedited chapters on Patreon over the next few weeks for those following along early.

This week, I also chat about reading Homecoming by Robin Hobb—a beautifully written book as always—and watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix, a dark but excellent drama that’s definitely stayed with me.

On a less fun note, I’ve been nursing a bad back, which means I’ve had to miss out on seeing one of my favourite bands, James.

Hoping to be back on my feet properly soon!

The Ravenglass Chronicles Omnibus: A Complete Coming-of-Age Epic Fantasy from Jon Cronshaw

Experience the complete Ravenglass Chronicles by Jon Cronshaw—an epic coming-of-age fantasy inspired by Tarot. Follow Princess Kat’s journey through prophecy, rebellion, and power in this full omnibus edition. Now available in ebook, paperback, and audio.

Release Date: June 25, 2022
Format: Ebook, Paperback, and Audiobook

One girl. Twenty-two destinies. One complete saga.

Author Jon Cronshaw has released the full omnibus edition of his critically acclaimed fantasy series, The Ravenglass Chronicles. Spanning 22 novellas, this complete collection is now available in one immersive volume, taking readers on a magical, emotionally charged journey from royal obligation to divine rebellion.

Set in a richly detailed world of court politics, sacred rituals, and prophetic dreams, The Ravenglass Chronicles follows Princess Kathryn Ostehild—a girl thrust into womanhood by the blood rites of empire, chosen by the gods to wield a blade no princess should bear.


A Tarot-Inspired Journey of Magic, Power, and Identity

What sets this fantasy series apart is its structure: each instalment aligns with a Major Arcana card from the Tarot, guiding Kat’s development through archetypes such as The Magician, The Chariot, The Tower, and The World. Fans of mythic storytelling and symbolic depth will find a rare resonance here.

Kat’s story is not one of instant heroism or easy answers. She fights for autonomy in a world designed to control her, learning to navigate destiny, rebellion, and sacrifice. As she matures from a hesitant girl into a woman of terrifying potential, her journey becomes a mirror for readers craving more than just magic—they want meaning.
