What were the Coven up to last month?

We might be a few days late in terms of giving a monthly wrap up, but there has been lots happening with the Mythic Alley team and World Book Day seems a fitting time to let everyone know about it!

Jessica has been busy working on the edits for her demon Why Choose, and she is happy to say, it’s coming on better than she hoped. (We never doubted it would!) She has also been tweaking the plot on the second novella in her Goddess series while looking at cover ideas for the first book, which she wrote last year.

Both Jess and Emma have been getting lots of recording underway for Season Twelve of the SFFRomCast, and the first two have been released already. There are interviews, trope chats, and deep dives into fantasy romance topics heading listeners way!

Emma has been working on revisions for her second contemporary romance. Ideas have made that take a little longer than originally planned but hopefully it will bring more to the story! She has also been working on the cover for it!

As mentioned above, podcast recording has featured heavily too, and she spent some time putting together a proposal for her Mythic Alley coven members about an Idea she had. The Coven have now been consulted and there may be some exciting news coming soon! She also made a concerted effort to post regularly as part of #RomFicFeb26 – organised by the Romantic Novelists’ Association – and found lots of lovely new writers in the online romance community.

Katie took part in some of the #RomFicFeb26 too, around being very busy getting the first draft of her Cackleshore Academy novel sent off to her publisher and receiving her edit notes back. Not only that, she handed in a short story assignment to uni and discovered a new coffee shop with amazing hot chocolate and dinosaur infested plants!

And Emma-Louise wrote a whopping 25341 words and hosted an at home 3 day retreat for herself which was fun! She also finalised all projects for 2026 and started branching out more with her design work.

And last but not least, we are delighted to announce that Crestwood Falls won first place in the Indie Author Awards for Best Young Adult Fantasy! Well done Emma-Louise – massive congratulations!
