Secrets of Oxford
"Oxford; it is popular for its historic university, stunning architecture and illustrious Dreaming Spires. Beware though as beyond this facade is a much darker side to the city. An existence you could never begin to imagine is real. But it is and all that stands between it and you is Oxford Alae – a group of mystical guardians.
Enter at your peril.
Looking for a new start, Zen ventures into the City of Dreaming Spires planning to leave her youth behind. Little does she know she will be leaving her entire life behind and eventually her beloved Ash. Zen’s a fighter however and won’t take death as a final answer. Follow Zen as she dies, rises, falls and gets bitten as part of a larger plan to shape the city of Oxford. Fighting by her side you will meet firm leader and slayer River, her watcher Punk, a powerful but loveable witch Bow, ghost tour guide Guy, and many other intriguing characters.
The Secrets of Oxford is a collection of interlinked short stories which will lead you through the mysterious streets of many dangers and near apocalypses."
Donations to OASIS Autism
When I finished writing the book I chose to donate half my profit to a local charity. After a little research and receiving recommendations it seemed that OASIS Autism was a worthy cause. As a small author I must purchase my own books from the printers to then sell on, so after the cost of print and delivery, then a percentage to retailers I only see a minor profit. However, I believe that no donation is too small and so I give 50% of my sales to OASIS. You can track this via my Just Giving page.
Aura Willow
I am the author of Secrets of Oxford. I write regularly - aiming to accomplish a career and large publishing deal in the future. At the time of this blog post I have just finished writing a 80,000+ word novel and am working on two or three more. Oxford is my home and a wonderful place to live. Aside from my love of writing and the City of Dreaming Spires I enjoy music and art. And yes - I do believe that the creatures that feature in my work could exist.
