Pleased to meet you — I’ve had a reading account on Medium for a while now, and guys you have me inspired to give this writing thing a go!

I follow some quite varied publications, Illumination Chapters for longer fiction, The Lark, PS I Love You, Redemption, Beloved and Pleading the Fifth to name a few, and it’s wonderful to find such contrasting genres of fiction in one place. I aspire to the skills of narrative and description which I’ve enjoyed reading since I took out Medium membership, and perhaps I can carve out a following.

My recent indulgence has been to ‘let it all hang out’ imagination-wise! The books and TV series which have grabbed my attention since lock-down have a fantastical slant to them. Perhaps that’s how other people also feel since we found ourselves in a pandemic.

Escapism rules

Let’s wander off in our imagination to parallel worlds, realms where magic is everyday and spells and curses a real and present danger, instead of climate change and cancel culture. Reading such content has been a balm to my soul and has sparked my imagination.

I hope what I create never constitutes plagarism of the authors who I admire. I get so inspired by their books that I want to write fiction which ekes out that experience, putting my spin on concepts they’ve introduced to me. Is this fan fiction? I hope it’s one step further away than that, but I’m probably not the best judge.

Please join me on this journey, and let me know via comments and hi-lights how I’m doing in my quest to entertain.

I picked Jacinta as a ‘pen name’ thinking it’s so pretty but it is not my given name.

Authors I love:

Holly Black | Cassandra Clare | Stephanie Meyer | Jennifer Crusie | Richelle Mead | Laurel K Hamilton | Charlaine Harris | J K Rowling | Kamie Garcia & Margaret Stohl | Maggie Steifvater | Libba Bray | Bridget Collins | Janet Evanovitch
