h.Art aka Herefordshire Art Week changed my life!

So I’m taking part in an open studio event again this year (did it for the first time last year) and so far it has been busy!

The first time I visited studios during h.Art week was in Sept 2019, when my friend Lu and I decided it was high time we follow some bright pink signs and have a nosey around artists’ studios.

One of the venues I visited was Berrington Press, where I met Sarah and Francesca. It was there I tried letterpress printing for the first time, and I can honestly say it was love at first clunk.

The first poster I saw printed at Berrington Press

I immediately commandeered an Adana from my dad’s antique collection, and got myself kitted out with ink and type, and it has been an obsession ever since.

I’ve now had my studio in Hereford for nearly 18 months, and have sold my printed work at fairs and in shops, as well as in my studio in The Apple Store Gallery (venue 3), and at Sacred Tree Spirit (venue 73).

Such was the obsession that my last novel for adults, The Girl Who Loved Much, had a letterpress theme, and the cover was a photograph I took of my own printing blocks in my studio. I also did a limited edition print run of extras to go with the book.

I have had many, many hobbies in my life, but I can honestly say that I feel that printing was what I was looking for all along. It helps that the printing community on Instagram and in the British Printing Society are the loveliest people I have ever known!

So if you’re local, do check out h.Art, and if you’re a reader wondering why I haven’t written so many books lately, this is one of the reasons why!

Jon and Michelle’s Horse Cart

Last night on BBC2 Jon and I were on My Unique B&B with Jon’s horse cart! It was so much fun watching the episode, and we can’t wait to welcome guests to the little cabin on wheels!

It was a great experience, working with Simon Parfett and the Plimsoll Productions crew to film the episode and to turn the cabin into a boutique space for people to stay in.

The cabin is now available to book on Airbnb, and you can see all the details through Jon’s Sacred Tree Spirit Website. It is called Char Bareu and really is a wonderful little sanctuary, especially if you are in need of unplugging from your devices and plugging into nature.

Even little Chouli starred in the show, so if you haven’t seen it yet, do check it out! The whole series is wonderful, and features lots of great B&Bs in the Forest of Dean area. If you have seen it, what did you think? Let me know!

The Girl Who Loved Too Much

New Release!

What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in a different reality that was better for you, but not for those you loved?

Caru loves to make things. And collect things. And give gifts. She loves to print, sew, knit, paint. Her life is full of unfinished projects, yet devoid of financial stability and romance. Though she loves her life, she finds herself disappointing people and struggling to keep everyone happy.

So when Caru wishes life could be simpler, and then finds herself in a completely different world, where her life is easy, money is abundant, and her long-term boyfriend is the most fabulous cook, she can’t quite believe her luck.

But will all her wishes come true? Or will the dream turn into a nightmare?

The Girl Who Loved Too Much is a modern day ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.

The Girl Who Loved Too Much is my brand new novel, published by Jasper Tree Press. It will be available in eBook and paperback, but I am also doing a special edition hardback, with a letterpress printed dust jacket and bookmark, which you can pre-order only from my website here.

MBS Festival Birmingham

Had a wonderful time at the MBS Festival in Birmingham last weekend! It was a very busy three days, and I loved chatting to fellow Earth Angels and Unicorn Seekers! Lots of Unicorn books were re-homed, and will hopefully inspire people to follow their passions. I still have a few Unicorn books left in stock, so if you would like a signed, pocket-sized copy, then visit my website and click on the Paypal button.

What I loved most about the festival was seeing the smiles on people faces when they saw the title of the book. A few people who offended by the profanity, but on the whole, something about it resonated with many people!

There was a prize draw for signing up to my mailing list, which was won by Georgia Wyldbore.

I didn’t have time to attend any of the workshops, but I did manage to enjoy getting my own wings, and chat with an awesome Earth Angel I met on FB.

I also met a wonderful Earth Angel who had begun a community called The Soul Train, for people who are separated from their Twin Flames and soulmates. As well as the online community, there is going to be a Retreat in March too. Please do check out them out!

Angels in Your Life

On the 12th March, I will be at the Angel’s in Your Life event in Chepstow, a day filled with talks about Angels and lots of stalls selling all things Angel-related! I will be giving a talk about Earth Angels, as well as have a stand with my books and oracle cards.

If you’d like more information, then hop on over to the Facebook page for the event. It’s on from 10am to 4pm, and looks like it’s going to be a wonderful day! I will try to get some photos of it, often at these events I’m so busy chatting that I forget to take pictures!

It’ll be my first event of 2016, but I am sure will not be my last, in fact I have lots of really exciting plans for this year which I am itching to tell you all about, but am waiting for things to be finalised.

I promise though, you will be the first to know when I do!

In other news and spring updates, there are new Oracle Reading videos on my YouTube channel, and I have begun releasing the episodes of a series called The Stories Behind the Stories. These videos feature me talking about what happened behind the scenes of writing and publishing the Earth Angel series.

Also, the online Earth Angel Training Academy is growing all the time, there are two classes available at the moment, with the third being created right now! I would be delighted to welcome you to the Academy, go and check it out. You can see a short video on what it’s all about here, and if you have any further questions, just email me at theamethystangel@hotmail.co.uk.

Sending you love and blessings on this lovely sunny day!

Launching Soon!

I am very pleased to announce that the Earth Angel Training Academy online classes will be launching on the 20th January!

The first class will be Remembering 101, and it will cover the different types of Earth Angel, so you can see which type you identify with. There are downloadable PDFs, so you can print them out, and there will be an audio file for each section too, which will also be downloadable, if you would rather listen to the information.

I will be holding live hangouts for the students once a month, and there will be a private Facebook group for the students to be able to interact with each other and with me!

I will release a new class each week, and there will initially be seven classes, with other classes on the Golden Age Children, and Twin Flames to come too.

I’m incredibly excited! So many beautiful Earth Angels have been asking for this, and after the success of the live classes last year, I knew I had to make it happen, so that my beautiful readers all around the world all had a chance to join in.

To register your interest in the Academy classes, and download your free PDF of The Earth Angel Training Academy, click here, and you will be the first to be emailed with the link to the Academy when it is live and with a discount code!
