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.

A lovely night away to Tower Bridge with hubby before the New Year. #towerbridge #shard #london #nightaway
Happy New Year everyone wishing you much happiness and joy in 2020. #newyear #happynewyear
All the best for a very merry fun filled Christmas. Hope Santa will bring you some lovely presents but the most important aspect of Christmas for me is spending time with family and friends, enjoying good food and wine! That is the true magic of Christmas. #Christmaswishes #merrychristmas #christmas #familytime #familyvacay
