From the Blurb:

What if you'd been in love with your best friend for six thousand years? What if she was supposedly the antithesis of everything you are? Or if you weren't even supposed to be capable of love? Would you be brave enough to tell her?

Nessa is a demon and Ophelia is an angel. They shouldn’t even be friends. They are actually official rivals; each representing their realm in the North of England, but really they are madly in love. The two have been best friends for thousands of years, since they discovered that surprisingly, their morals tend to align: however, over the years they fell in love with each other. With growing unrest between Heaven and Hell and the threat of war - or worse, apocalypse - the two must discover how far they are willing to go for each other and whether their love is stronger than their fear.

Along with new friends, they learn that life is a lot more complex than their bosses have always insisted, and maybe things aren't as simple as 'good' or 'bad'. As they fight for each other and what they believe in, they start to wonder if they really can find a grey area between good and evil, away from the rules of both Heaven and Hell; a place where they can finally be together…

About the Author:

Romy has wanted to be an author since she was a child, and was always making up stories, but she hated writing on paper. Luckily, keyboards exist! She started writing Fallen Feathers in late December 2023, and by August had written the first three books in a series about LGBT angels and demons in love.  While this is her first book, Romy has written a few other projects in various formats, and regularly writes articles and reviews for the popular theatre review site West End Best Friend as well as magazine articles in publications such as The Historians Magazine.  As well as being a writer, Romy is also a historian and is undertaking a Masters Degree in Museum Studies. She is also very involved in theatre; often performing in pantomimes, musicals, and plays; directing pantomimes; and designing props and posters following her degree in Graphic Design. She also sometimes works in TV.  Romy lives in the North of England (that's why all her characters tend to be reyt Northern) with her lovely family and two sweet kittens!

More About Romy Morgan:

How long does it take you to write a book? How long does each stage of the process usually take?

Weirdly not long! Before Fallen Feathers, I'd tried to write books, but never finished them, but there was just something about Fallen Feathers... I was obsessed with writing it, and wrote whenever I could. I actually initially write on my phone's note app, because I personally find it easier, and therefore I was able to write wherever I was. I started writing Fallen Feathers at the end of December 2023, and had finished it by the end of February. By August I had written three books in the series. After that I focused more on editing and getting the first book ready to be published, so I have only written one more book since then.

What is your favourite type of character to write?

I tend to write about kind people who love deeply; even most of my villains end up redeeming themselves to a certain level. I love to explore the reasons behind why people act the way they do. I believe that everyone has something in their past that causes them to act in a certain way, so I love revealing sad/tragic backstories for my characters that explains their actions.

Do you mine your own life for ideas, settings and/or characters? 

I do tend to have my stories set in the North of England where I live. Fallen Feathers is based in York, and many real places that I love feature in it. I also think I tend to write about complicated emotions with insightful thoughts and healing moments for my characters, influenced by my mum who is a counsellor and NLP practitioner.

What's next for your writing?

The rest of the Fallen Feathers series will be published soon. I have written the second two and a shorter spin off. I am currently taking a break with the series before writing the final fourth book, while I write something different. I am currently writing a M/M modern vampire romance.
