Reviews
It’s a truism that authors love reviews.
Thanks to my lovely readers who have posted reviews of Lakwi’s Lament, Heart of the Mountain and The Herbalist’s Daughter on Amazon, Goodreads, blogs or Youtube. Here’s a small selection 🙂
Heart of the Mountain:
‘Captivating characters and a plot that draws you in from the start. This well crafted work is recommended reading.’ Adele Jones, GoodReads
‘Jeanette O’Hagan creates a world rich in lore and mystery. It kicks off with a good action hook and there is an undercurrent of dire consequences for failure. There is plenty of action, well interspersed with snippets of background reveal and lovely imagery,’ Ladyhawk, Amazon
The Herbalist’s Daughter:
‘An enchanting story with engaging characters. Looking forward to reading more of this world.’ Shelley Nolan, GoodReads
Lakwi’s Lament:
‘Lakwi isn’t the typical princess. I liked her spunk and how she thinks on her feet so to speak. My one complaint is the story wasn’t long enough. I wanted to know what happens next and would gladly read more in the series.’ Jenny Blake, Amazon
I always enjoy Jeanette O’Hagan’s stories and this one is no exception. She writes engaging fantasy stories. … It is suitable for older readers too and is a very quick read but with a rich storytelling world. Rebekah Rodda, GoodReads
Lakwi’s Lament also featured on Adam Colling’s Bulletin
Month of Poetry
I had a fabulous time with Month of Poetry. This Year I decided to experiment with different poetry forms-form A to Z (Acrostics to ZamiLA rhymes). It was stretching at times, but a lot of fun. Here was my List Poem 🙂
A Novel Cake
Take a modicum of talent a cup full of dreams and hard work in equal measure, mix together vigorously. Stir in two aspirations well beaten and half a cup of constructive feedback until reaching a smooth and creamy consistency. Add chopped metaphors (never mixed) to taste. and a pinch of optimism. Bake well in the scorching oven of opinion. When cool, sprinkle with crystallised hopes. Allow to settle to release the flavours and garnish with a swirl of revision. Serve with a generous side of promotion. Warning this cake may cause tears but has been known to be addictive.Jeanette O’Hagan 15 January 2017
I’ve submitted a number of the poems to competitions and anthologies. To read more about Month of Poetry check out Jenny’s Thread
Coming this year:
‘Stasia’s Stand’ is due to be published in the Crossroad anthology later this year.
I’m submitting some short stories to a couple of anthologies and will be involved as editor in Like A Woman anthology – a spec-fic charity anthology in support of victims of Domestic Violence.
The sequel of Heart of the Mountain – Blood Crystal should be out in a couple of months & Akrad’s Children (the first book in the Akrad Legacy series) later this year.
