Marje @ Kyrosmagica

Hi. Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a debut writer, my first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.

More music in Cambridge town centre. The Trials Of Cato. Folk band. Nice. All we need now is some warm sunshine! #thetrialsofcato #folk #music #Cambridge
I saw this poster while I was in the town centre this afternoon. Love the sound of this. A thirteen year old girl is painting 13 portraits of her class mates and has an exhibition at Michaelhouse cafe and centre from 18th Feb to Saturday 1st March. Awesome. #project13 #portaits #art #supportingyoungartists #Cambridge
