The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Magic is my fun new series starting in Spring 2017. Ivy might be a couch potato but she’s also incredibly magically adept. She’s going to end up to her elbows in it when she’s mistaken for her workaholic neighbour though! To make sure you don’t miss out on it – or any other new releases, including the thrilling conclusion to the Dreamweaver series which is coming soon – then sign up for my newsletter here.

Acknowledgments

There are so many people without whom this book, and indeed series, wouldn’t have been possible and who I can’t possibly thank enough. Any omissions here are entirely my own fault.

First and foremost, to Karen Holmes for her superlative editing – not to mention her ability to keep me buoyed up when I’m sure what I’ve written isn’t worth the paper. To Clarissa Yeo and her always wonderful cover art. To Saskia Maarleveld for her wonderful audio narration, as well as all the fabulous folks over at Tantor. To the Women of Urban Fantasy for keeping me sane. To Barbara Hall, Yvanca Wensing and Luma Zetani for their invaluable beta reading.

To Marlowe, Scout, Lara and Mavis for giving me (mostly) peace to write when I’ve needed it.

To the Taylors Education Group for their unwitting inspiration for Integrity.

To Adrianna, the most perfect PA I could ever wish for.

To my family for their continued and unstinting support.

Finally, to Malaysia. It’s been seven and a half years and, as I write this, I’m surrounded by boxes and crates and suitcases as I prepare to return to the UK. The tropical weather, the amazing food and, above all, the warm, kind people have made this such an inspiring adventure. Terima Kasih from the bottom of my heart.

About the Author

After teaching English literature in the UK, Japan and Malaysia, Helen Harper left behind the world of education following the worldwide success of her Blood Destiny series of books. She is a professional member of the Alliance of Independent Authors and writes full time although she still fits in creative writing workshops with schools along with volunteering to teach reading to a group of young Myanmar refugees. That’s not to mention the procession of stray cats which seem to find their way to her door!

Helen has always been a book lover, devouring science fiction and fantasy tales when she was a child growing up in Scotland.

Helen currently lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with far too many cats – not to mention the dragons, fairies, demons, wizards and vampires that seem to keep appearing from nowhere.
