Happily "Never" After

Don’t break a witch’s heart. A beautifully tragic love story spanning a thousand years.

A millennia ago, Victoria was jilted at the altar. Under the full moon, she forsakes her soul and is forced to roam the land waiting for the next incarnation of her lover, Zane. So many tormented nights of endless searching. Too many hollow days of the constant craving. So much time wasted. And her only companion is her dead heart, evermore bitter, as she marches hostile and dangerous through to modern day... Four women. Two lifetimes in a thousand years because the devil had other plans. Who will reach Zane first? Who will win his heart? Who will help him escape this time? Who will be tricked to death? Elspeth believes she is going mad when an internal and extreme voice begins to interfere in her life. It is very determined Elspeth should comply with its demands. And not all of them are good. Megan skates on the thin edge of sanity at the best of times, so when a white stag steps out of the mists twice in a day, Megan finds herself sailing sideways towards an explosive destination. Josephine stares at her reflection: long black hair, eyes of grey - and glaring back are witch's eyes of black onyx - full of scorn for such cruel betrayal. Zane has an eerie, unshakable feeling that something inevitable is about to happen. In his nightmares, he is stalked by a beautiful evil creature. By day, these women are drawing steadily closer... The hands of fate grip forever around the throats of the lost, dragging them ever nearer to damnation. Fast-paced, funny and heart-breaking, in a world where nothing is as it seems; everyone is running a race where the goal is uncertain and the contestants unknown.

Paula Heath lives in the Wye Valley: the English/Welsh boarder-lands between the Welsh Mountains and her beloved Forest of Dean. It was in this forest, she was born. She grew up with these forests as her playground where her imagination roamed free. She spent many an hour in a small quarry, her spaceship; speeding through outer space on a race to save the galaxy. She spent many more days in the Fairy Realm or using ferns for spears as she, the warrior, headed out to battle. The Forest of Dean is a glorious place. The mystical elements are in her very roots; blessed from first breath. She has watched the full moon over its misty ponds and imagined vampires who dwell there. She has sat on the Blood Stone wondering of the witches that trod this forest in yesteryear. She has felt their whispers on the breeze and heard them calling. All of this she pours into her writing, with gentle weaves of truth for those who swim the depths of natural law. She describes herself as a true romantic with a passionate heart. She is happiest when she is walking with her witch’s cat, Mr Binx, through the meadows with the mountains stretching out on the horizon; and characters playing out some crazy scene all around her. She is blessed with a loving husband, Adam: her rock, her Gypsy King; who understands her needs to wander barefoot and dance in the rain. Adam Heath is Team Founder and Leader of FPI, Forest Paranormal Investigations. Over the years, he and Paula have built up a reputable Paranormal Team, appearing on Great British Ghosts and radio interviews with the BBC. Paula loves exploring the paranormal; so natural it’s normal. And she is honoured to have met some interesting entities who have been inspirational in her art, along her journey through her forest. As she unleashes the vampires and witches, demons and lost souls onto the world, she hopes that her words will hit home. It is her grandest dream to guide others to unlock the secrets and come find Sanctuary… ‘It’s safe here… honest.’ PAULA HEATH
