About
the author

in a town with historical buildings to roam around, as well as having the sea
and the New Forest National Park nearby, she has plenty to do when taking a
break from writing.
Excerpt
She thought she’d made
it across the fields undetected; the forest was so near she could smell the
pine needles. Then she felt a prickling sensation down her left side, and the
hairs on her head felt taut, as if each individual strand was standing up leaving
room for ice-cold points of pain to dig into her scalp. She turned and there,
running towards her with an effortless gait, even flat out, was a panther. Even
from a distance she could see that his size was bigger than normal for a
panther. His black fur was in sharp contrast to the stubbly yellow grass which
he was ploughing through, and his penetrating eyes were fixed on her. Her
flight-or-fight reflex cut in, but which was the best option? Looking at the
speed of the panther, she knew she would never outrun him. She dropped her
things and stood feet apart, ready to face him. She conjured up a ball of air
and poised for attack, waited for him to get closer. Now he was near enough
that she could see the golden colour of his eyes, but just as she prepared to
defend herself the panther suddenly skidded to a halt in front of her. His huge
paws dug into the ground sending loose soil and stones into the air. His eyes
held hers, and they both stared at each other, long enough for all outside
sound to be lost in the intensity of the moment. The panther looked her up and
down, tilting his head to one side as he watched her.
