About Me

Here I am (on the left) with 2 of my sisters and fellow publishers. We're in front of Dunrobin Castle in Sutherland. I was NOT impressed at how the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland were portrayed when they were responsible for the clearances which destroyed so many lives!

I'm a primary teacher and an author. These two things take up most of  my time, but I also love to read kidlit and go to the allotment when I can persuade myself to leave the house.

I published my debut novel "Taking Wing" in July 2019 and was blown away by the reception it received. It is a middle grade fantasy adventure (my favourite genre!) about a 12 yr old girl who find herself mixed up in the middle of a centuries-old war. The war is between two tribes of immortals who can turn themselves into birds in a moment's notice. It's fun, scary, full of peril, and just a good read!

I have had a publishing haitus in 2020, as I've been focussing on my family's business "Crowvus" which publishes all kinds of books. This doesn't mean I've not been writing, however, and I have three books coming out in 2021.

  1. Unicorns Rule - coming out in April 2021 - juvenile fiction (fantasy)
  2. Doorway to the Sunset - coming out in July 2021 - middle grade (fantasy adventure)
  3. Heartstone - coming out in October 2021 - middle grade (fantasy adventure)

I'm currently looking for a book launch team for Unicorns Rule. If you'd like to be part of something awesome, then sign up on my website www.clemencycrow.co.uk and receive a free copy pre-release, as well as lots of party goodies. All you've got to do in return is read the book and post a review on release day. Simples!


If you'd like me to review your book, please get in touch. I love reading things from upcoming authors! Take a look at my Review Policy.

Get in touch by emailing the_team@crowvus.com

Bye for now,
Clemency :)

#HistFicThursdays - Muskets & Minuets - Lindsey S. Fera - Book Excerpt

   This week, I'm delighted to once again be teaming up with  The Coffee Pot Book Club ! Today I'm sharing an excerpt from the stunning book,  Muskets & Minuets  by Lindsey S. Fera! So let's begin by meeting the book... Love. Politics. War. Amidst mounting tensions between the British crown and the American colonists of Boston, Annalisa Howlett struggles with her identity and purpose as a woman. Rather than concern herself with proper womanly duties, like learning to dance a minuet or chasing after the eligible and charming Jack Perkins, Annalisa prefers the company of her brother, George, and her beloved musket, Bixby. She intends to join the rebellion, but as complications in her personal life intensify, and the colonies inch closer to war with England, everything Annalisa thought about her world and womanhood are transformed forever. Join Annalisa on her journey to discover what it truly means to be a woman in the 18th century, all set against the ba...

Masterworks: Legacy - Samantha Wilcoxson - Interview

  Today is the last of a series on nine interviews I'm sharing on the Crowvus Book Blog. These are from the authors of the short stories included in the  Masterworks  anthology by the  Historical Writers Forum . We're running through chronologically, some are video interviews, others are written. I am delighted to welcome the fantastic Samantha Wilcoxson, who is sharing the artist inspiration for her short story Legacy , as well as the appeal of James A. Hamilton, and the delights of researching. First of all, tell us a little bit about yourself, what you write (besides Masterworks!), and what inspired you to begin writing. I was inspired to write by my love of reading. After watching me read, write reviews, and keep journals for twenty years, my husband asked me why I didn’t try writing, so I did! Without really planning on it, I ended up writing historical biographical fiction. I’m drawn to a tragic tale but also to lesser known historical figures with emotive stor...

So here's your heads-up of what you can expect from this year's online historical fiction event! I will be looking out for posts on BluSky , Facebook , Instagram , Threads , and Twitter , and I can't wait to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new friends too! Just like last year, every day will have a prompt. You can schedule posts or post them on the day. You can use pictures or use the #HistFicMay prompt image instead. Really, you can post anything which links to the prompt! And speaking of prompts, here they are: Introduce yourself Introduce your writing Which writer(s) most inspire(s) you?
