Where is Winterbury and who is Zephira?

Hi to all you lovely visitors! It's great to see you here and I'll tell you why...we are going to write a story together. Okay, okay, that's not strictly true, I'm going to write the story and you're going to help me.

A little bit about me



Just so you're not reading this thinking, who on earth is this weirdo trying to entice me into helping to create a story I know nothing about? I think it's only fair to let you know that my origins as a writer has been romance intended for adults, and this is my first attempt at the YA genre.

However, I didn't just wake up one morning stick my index finger in the air and proclaim into a silent room that I was going to give YA  a shot. Since I started writing I always knew that I wanted to write one, or two, or more! Having two self-published paranormal romances, and two traditionally published contemporary romances out there, now seems as good a time as any.

Where is Winterbury?



Winterbury is a village in the middle of no-where in the north of England. It's a completely made up place in my mind and trust me, you'll get the feel for the place soon enough. Winterbury College is set back from this village on a deserted moor, and you'll see exactly why it has to be...

And what about Zephira?



Zephira is book one of what will (hopefully, fingers, legs, and arms crossed) be a series of Winterbury College Novels, each one looking more in depth at each of the main characters as they travel through their own harrowing journeys at Winterbury and what brought them there in the first place.

The burning question: how is this going to work then?
