What inspired you to become an author?

I started trying my hand at writing as soon as I could read. I always loved singing and reading poetry, so at first I only wrote song lyrics and poetry. Before long,  other types of books caught my fancy. . .mainly fantasy. I’ve also always had an affinity for researching and categorizing information. These are the things that ultimately led to my first book about a metal horn unicorn tribe in which each character had a magical power based on the metal of their horns. This was long before computers so all of my research was done by hand from dictionaries and encyclopedias. 

Do you have a specific writing style?

I’d say my specific writing style is educational fantasy. The work I did on my unicorn fantasy story is what led to the idea of writing the first in my series of illustrated periodic table books. I already had the beginnings with 12 unicorns ready to present 12 elements of the periodic table.  I had previously decided that this book would be laid out in alphabetical order so I only needed to come up with 14 more unique unicorns and elements to complete the alphabet.  How hard could it be, I thought… Turns out it was quite a bit more difficult than I anticipated because not all letters of the alphabet are represented by an element. I had to get quite creative to account for all of the letters.

Do you write in different genres?

I do write in other genres but this book series has turned into a several year project so everything I’ve written in the past few years, including about 100 articles, have been about elements of the periodic table. As I mentioned, the first book in this series had Metal Horn Unicorns presenting 26 elements.  Next, came Elemental Dragons presenting 26 elements, also in alphabetical order. This current book features Alchemical wizards discussing more elements.  In fact, there were so many elements to be covered by the wizards that I had to split them into 2 books.  Book 2 will be out later this year. After that, Actinide Knights and Radioactive Goblins will finish up the series. 

If yes which is your favorite genre to write?

I love to write books that are illustrated because you can use the pictures in a thousand ways (like the previously mentioned articles) for marketing and promotion. For the Magical Elements of the Periodic Table series of books, I have used the graphics for creating memes for social media,  the video shorts, activity pages to help with learning and remembering about each element, trading cards for sharing with friends, a bingo game, and even t-shirts.  All of these can be found at https://www.magicalptelements.com .  I’ve also utilized the pictures to put together special pages on the website where I’ve placed links to my research so that readers can check my facts and learn more themselves.

Do you have a song or playlist (book soundtrack) that you think represents this book?

The theme song for all of the Magical Elements of the Periodic Table books is called “No Metal – No Magic”. The lyrics for it feature the metal horn unicorns but it’s still applicable for all of the elementals.  Their motto, after all, is No Metal – No Magic. . . and No Technology. Think about that for a second. There literally would be no modern life without the amazing gifts the elements have provided mankind over the years. The instrumental music for the song is the background music for all of the video shorts that I’ve, so far, created for the magical elementals. One day, I hope to have a video for each of the 118 elementals and the elements they represent. Check them out at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLybqF-7D4W3EuoE2dzd9xbt4gleDECHga

Tagline: He had every intention of crossing a line.

Book Description:

In all honesty, Jake had to give his trip to Paris mixed reviews. Beaten and broken by seemingly invincible men with eerie red eyes marked the low point, but abduction by a sexy, knife-wielding vampire? Better than fireworks on the Fourth of July. She was the best medicine for a wounded man’s body and soul. A few busted ribs cost him precious time, but he had to keep moving. Call it vengeance or justice, either way, Jake had a man to kill.

Dulcina had witnessed the destruction left in the wake of demons for far too many years to be rattled by a bloody body. She brought him home and catered to his comfort. Big mistake. The smart-mouth, irritatingly likable man pulled through, and was determined to leave, but with knowledge of other species in his head, the human is a problem.

To stop Jake from escaping, Dulcina promised to help him finish his mission, but the price was steep, and neither were prepared for what they discovered. Secrets are uncovered, and as a Night Stalker charged with protecting all species, Dulcina is forced to make a difficult choice.


Excerpt 1:

Dulcina stepped over him and sat, back propped against the wall with legs bent over top of his outstretched legs. Yes, the space was cramped, but physical contact never bothered her, in any form.

Her home didn’t have room for a comfy chair or a breakfast table, so improvisation was a norm. She took the pizza box and set it down to her left, between them.

“Hungry…pet?” Dulcina asked, just barely avoiding the use of his name.

His eyes narrowed on her, then solidly corrected her. “Jake.”

She smiled. So persistent, this man. Dulcina pointed to the box. “It’s all I’ve got.”

“Not a fan of cold pizza,” he said, more of an easy statement than an objection.

“It isn’t exactly cold. Just not hot.” Dulcina shrugged. “Eat or starve. Your call.”

He grabbed a slice, took note of how she’d folded her slice, and did the same. They sat in silence, which gave her time to watch him from the corner of her eye. When he’d finished his slice, he scanned the room thoughtfully, then seeming resolved, grabbed another slice. What had he been looking for? Perhaps a refrigerator. Interesting. He’d rather eat what he didn’t care for than waste food.

He was an observant thing. Practical. Another sliver of begrudging respect surfaced, and Dulcina forced herself to admit this man wasn’t nearly as irritating as she’d first assumed. Other than the fact that he needed tending.

Dulcina settled a little deeper into her position against the wall, intending to shut off her brain until this show ended. Futile. Every little movement Jake made drew her attention. He glanced at the last slice in the box. Her eyes narrowed as she studied him, practically able to see the war in his mind. Some imagined obligation not to waste food battled with the reality of him being stuffed full, and she could see the signs. Leaning back, he stifled a belch. Why torture himself with more food? Must be a human thing.

Folding the lid on the box closed, she leaned over his legs and tossed it onto the floor. When his questioning gaze met hers, she simply said, “You keep eating and I won’t be able to lift your ass at all.”

A grin flashed across his face, and he nodded, unwilling to fight her over something he didn’t truly want in the first place. Crossing her arms over her chest, Dulcina stared at the television, avoiding his dashing smile and the things it did to her libido.

For several moments the sound of the TV filled the space between them, and then Jake reached over a rather short distance, and grabbed her foot. Stunned by his impulsive behavior, she met his gaze, subduing the hot flash of wariness at the contact. All he did was grin again.

The heat of his palms wrapping around her chilled foot was a shock to her system, and after the astonishment wore off, she tugged her foot, but the grip of his right hand was far more tenacious than she’d expected. If she’d so desired, she could have easily freed herself from his grip, but she curbed her more violent responses, well aware she could injure him further.

“What are you doing? Let go,” she snapped.

“I haven’t been doing anything for days. I’m finally feeling good enough to move, but I can’t without hurting, and it sucks,” Jake grumbled, flinching slightly as his facial expressions tugged on the scabbed tissue on his lips, the bruises around his eyes. He calmed quickly, lowered his gaze to her foot, and slowly moved his thumb in a circle. “Doing nothing is making me stir crazy. I’m upright, and feeling mostly okay. Just let me have a focus, will ya?”

Dulcina’s jaw nearly dropped at his admission, not to mention the stern scolding. Not because they’d been the most direct words he’d spoken since she’d brought him home, and not at all because he was telling her flat out what he wanted from her, but because she shared those same sentiments. She went positively stir crazy without a focus. Every night. His words resonated with her, and his resolve sparked her interest.

What would he do then, if given free rein to do as he pleased? An experiment seemed in order. Dulcina released the tension in her leg, gave the full weight of it over to his hands.

Jake slowly drew her foot back onto his lap, the positioning more for the benefit of his bruised and cracked ribs than her comfort. Once she adjusted and settled, he pinned her with a ‘pay attention’ gaze and pointed to the TV. Directing her? Interesting. To what end?

Dulcina did as he asked, keeping a sharp eye on him in her peripheral vision. Once he seemed satisfied that she’d obeyed, he set to work on her foot. Jake didn’t watch the TV with her, and he wasn’t keen on catching her reaction to his touch. Instead, he truly threw his entire focus into rubbing her foot from ankle to toe.

Sinfully thorough, this man. After he’d taken his time rubbing every inch of her foot with those distracting fingers and drawing bone-melting circles with his thumbs, he cupped his hands around her entire foot with a gentle, firm pressure. The contact was delicious, warming her in a way that had little to do with physical heat.

Jake tapped her shin, and when she looked up, a question on the tip of her tongue, she saw him pointing to the other foot. This was strange. All of it. A man she didn’t know was touching her, taking pains to see to her comfort, while he was still recovering from multiple injuries. This tender, selfless care was something done between mates.

Dulcina flinched. That thought was jarring.

Excerpt:

As the creature growled, she was sure its lips curled up into a grin.
Freya managed to find the strength in her feet and dragged herself backwards a step, never taking her eyes from the animal.

When she moved, however, the creature leapt the small fence and landed on the other side. Her side of the fence. There was nothing between Freya and it, and it crouched down and crept towards her, as though it was tracking rats.

Freya was sure that, if she turned to run, it would be faster. Her mind was whizzing through every possibility but, in her fear, she couldn’t make out any sensible thought. Walking slowly backwards, Freya hoped that steady movements would show she was not a threat but, as the creature walked at the same speed towards her, she realised it wasn’t going to attack her because she was a threat. It was going to attack her because it wanted to. There was a light in the narrowing of its eyes as it advanced on her that showed the pleasure it felt in the fear Freya knew she was showing.

Realising she couldn’t escape the animal, she cupped her hand in front of her and a blue flame ignited in her palm. She had learned this from the crows, and had been practising in the last four months, in any idle moment when she was safe at home.

The flame warmed her, but didn’t burn her, and it was enough to stop the creature approaching. It kept watching her, seeing if she would make a mistake with the blue light or trip up. The light glinted in the unblinking eyes and Freya found that she couldn’t take her own eyes off them.

Freya’s heart was thumping in her chest so loud that it made her head pound. One careless step could be the end of this staring contest, and she was sure of the outcome of losing.

In her time with the crows, she had never seen a creature like this before, but she felt certain that it used the same magic she was holding in her hand. It certainly wasn’t natural. She was sure she would remember seeing pictures of a creature like the one before her. The closest think in her memory were drawings of sabre-toothed tigers but, while they had been frightening, there was something about this being that spoke of something more than natural. Something, she was sure, that was supernatural. Something that shouldn’t be prowling towards her right now.




About the Author:

Clemency is a primary teacher in the tip-top north of Scotland, who enjoys reading middle grade adventures as much as she loves writing them.

Growing up in North Lincolnshire, in an old, haunted farmhouse, she developed her imagination from a young age. The garden provided not only plenty of opportunities for play and den building, but a chance to observe the wildlife, which gave rise to her series Feather Down.

When she moved to Caithness at the age of 16, she took her love of birds, nature and writing with her, beginning to develop her abilities as an author.

Clemency began a degree in Astronomy several years ago which she is slowly completing part-time. She has used the knowledge gained from her studies to write books such as “Tour of the Solar System: Not just the 8 planets” and plans to publish many more science books for children.

When Clemency is not writing, she is either gardening, playing with her two energetic spaniels, or looking after her quail and chickens, the latter of which has discovered a new hobby: escape from the coop and raid the orchard Viking-style.

Her upcoming book, Doorway to the Sunset, is the sequel to Taking Wing, and is due to be published by Crowvus on the 4th July 2025.
