A screenshot of the first page of A Fix of Light by Kel Menton. It reads: PROLOGUE 🌿 BEALTAINE The forest opened one sleepy eye. It had not had a visitor in a very long time. The thicket let out an almighty yawn and the visitor, a boy, took the opportunity to step into the forest's mouth. It swallowed him whole. There was no going back, but he wasn't afraid. He walked until he was lost. He was bleeding already; his blood left a trail on the moss behind him. The moss forgot his footprints but remembered his blood The boy looked at the trees. Will I become another wind chime here, limbs clattering together in the wind? The pain in his chest, in his wrists, was just enough to keep him moving forward. It felt like his ears were full of water, full of pressure, and swirling, muffled sound. He would not look over his shoulder. He would not look over his shoulder. He would not look over his shoulder.

Today is the day Hanan tried to die.

Féile na Bealtaine, when summer begins, and Hanan touches magic for the first time. 🌳✨🦊🪨🌻🌈

Today is a great day to start reading A Fix of Light ☀️

“He kept his eyes fixed on his shoe until the last possible moment, focused on re-tying his laces like it took his full concentration. When he finally lifted his gaze, Pax’s green eyes were there, waiting for him.”

A Fix of Light – Kel Menton *I received a free copy of this book, with thanks to the author, Little Island Books and Graeme Williams of Graeme Williams Marketing. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.* Blurb: The boy turned to face Hanan. He lifted one hand and let the light play on his fingers. Not light, a thread. A single golden thread, drifting like a cobweb, strong as steel.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A SIGN, THIS IS IT. WRITE IT. I AM LOOKING AT YOU. YES, YOU. Also, find a critique partner. Find someone who will read your work & cheer you on & push you in unexpected ways. It keeps the fire well fed!! #ukteenchat #afixoflight

Ah, yes…Project H&H…I am challenging myself with a bigger cast of characters, more action & more complicated plot…think V.E. Schwab’s ‘Vicious’...I am very excited about it. I will say no more. 🐺🐇🔥 #ukteenchat #afixoflight

Oh I 100% agree with you, being by the sea unlocks something in my writer brain!! It’s no wonder #afixoflight is set in an Irish seaside village… #ukteenchat

I am a plotter, but not in any organised way?? I know what the endpoint of a story is, and I know some milestones I have to hit along the way (i.e. I know ‘they fight & then make up & then kiss’) but otherwise I am Winging It. #ukteenchat #afixoflight

I like to light a candle before I start writing, to signal to myself that We Are Writing Now. I’ve gotten used to writing anywhere, but I do love window seats in cafés. Anywhere I can observe while sipping some sort of hot beverage. #ukteenchat #afixoflight

For sure! It taught me how to research properly & filled my head with thousands-years-old metaphors & narratives & archetypes. Reading works in translation, doing my own translations…all of it influenced my style & work ethic! #ukteenchat #afixoflight
