Morgan's Musings

This is your final reminder that the HIRAETH Book Birthday Sale comes to a close today, the 9th of March. After tonight, the book returns to its regular price across most major retailers, so if you have been waiting for the right moment, this is genuinely it.

Five years ago today, HIRAETH was born. And I want to mark this birthday properly, because this book deserves it.

Today marks the opening of the HIRAETH Book Birthday Sale, running from the 7th to the 9th of March, with the book's 5th birthday falling on the 8th. I have been looking forward to this for weeks, and I am so glad the day has finally arrived.

Eifion walks the quiet shores of Llyn Du as though he has always belonged there, as though the water itself shaped him from mist and moonlight.

Today is the final day of the WHAT A LATTE BOOKS Book Birthday Sale. It has been such a joy celebrating this milestone. Six years of readers discovering a story about courage, longing, and the magic hidden in the everyday.

As we head into the final weekend of the Book Birthday Sale, I find myself reflecting on how stories change us. WHAT A LATTE BOOKS has always been about longing, bravery, and choosing hope even when it feels fragile.

This story has always been about courage — the quiet kind. The kind that asks whether you are willing to believe in something that seems just out of reach. To celebrate six wonderful years, WHAT A LATTE BOOKS is on sale until the 2nd of March at most major retailers (apart from Amazon).

One of my favourite questions at the heart of WHAT A LATTE BOOKS is this: what happens when a story begins to echo your own life? Laura finds herself drawn to a hero she cannot possibly meet. A man who exists only on the page… or does he?

Talise Calder stands at the edge of Welsh water as both scientist and witness. Trained in Environmental Science and Water, Climate & Sustainability, she has built her life around the lakes of Wales—mapping their boundaries, analysing their chemistry, modelling their seasonal rhythms, and working with conservation groups to safeguard their fragile ecosystems. Her days are divided between misted dawn fieldwork and late evenings spent overlaying drone imagery and satellite data

WHAT A LATTE BOOKS turns six on the 28th of February, and to celebrate this Book Birthday, it’s on sale at most major retailers (apart from Amazon) from the 26th of February until the 2nd of March.

Today is the final day of the Book Birthday Sale for SLIPPERS AND SONGS. From its first whispered notes of enchanted music to the final unravelled riddle, this story has been a labour of love. Tesni’s determination to be more than a reward and Brenin’s refusal to treat her as one remain at the heart of it.

With only two days remaining in the Book Birthday Sale, I find myself reflecting on how much SLIPPERS AND SONGS means to me as the beginning of the Brodyr Alarch series.

Today, SLIPPERS AND SONGS celebrates its Book Birthday. This novel began as a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, yet it quickly grew into something more layered and myth-soaked. Welsh gods and legend threaded themselves into the fabric of the tale, reshaping the familiar pattern of the fairytale into something older and more haunting.

Tesni’s curse forces her into motion each night, crossing into the Otherworld where Taliesin poses riddles that guard deeper truths. The dance is not merely spectacle. It is endurance. It is constraint. It is a gilded cage.

Today marks the beginning of the Book Birthday Sale for SLIPPERS AND SONGS, the first novel in the Brodyr Alarch series.

Today is the final day of the Cabbages & Kings Book Birthday giveaway! If you’ve been meaning to download it, now’s the moment. This is your chance to step into a Robin Hood tale that focuses on the people living in the shadow of the legend — and the young woman whose story started it all.

We’re nearly at the end of the Book Birthday celebration, and that means Cabbages & Kings will only be FREE for one more day.

We all grow up with the same Robin Hood story — the hero, the outlaw, the noble thief. But legends are often polished smooth, hiding the rough edges of real life underneath.

As winter loosens its grip, the hills of North Wales hold their breath. On Gŵyl Forwyn, the festival of maidens, the birds awaken with a song that carries more than melody—it carries fate, love, and the promise of new beginnings.

February’s newsletter has gone out, and it’s a wonderfully full one. This month, I’m sharing a mix of author updates, three book birthday sales, and the launch of my brand-new ARC group, The Story Hearth — a cosy space for early readers and behind-the-scenes story chat.
