LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION / NON-FICTION Ciara McEllin is building her list as a Junior Agent at Watson Little. She reads widely across book club, upmarket and literary fiction. Within these areas, she is drawn to novels that examine family and relationship dynamics, sexuality, identity, and vulnerability. Ciara is keen to hear from writers who take a fresh approach to these themes, whether that be a new perspective on a traditional narrative or a focus on characters and voices that remain underrepresented: think Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck, Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday or Monkey Grip by Helen Garner. She will always want to read beautifully written novels with a strong sense of place, tangible characters and an essence that stays with you – living deep in your bones – long after you’ve finished reading. Recent reads Ciara has enjoyed include: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry, Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad, Close to Home by Michael Magee, Siblings by Brigitte Reimann, Trespasses by Louise Kennedy, The Idiot by Elif Batuman, Highway Blue by Ailsa McFarlane and My Phantoms by Gwendoline Riley. At the moment Ciara is particularly eager to see: - Sexy, sensual and seductive stories that explore desire and sexual boundaries not often represented in literature such as Little Rabbit by Alyssa Songsiridej, Cleanness by Garth Greenwell and Mrs. S by K Patrick - An atmospheric and existential thriller in the vein of Intimacies by Katie Kitamura, In The Cut by Susanna Moore and Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk - An intoxicating coming of-age-tale that captures the aliveness, intelligence and wildness of girlhood like Brutes by Dizz Tate, The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides and The Girls by Emma Cline - Books that are joyful or brutal, particularly those that are both, similar to Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel, Kick the Latch by Kathryn Scanlan and Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan - Stories exploring an Australia or Ireland that is rarely seen in literature for example A Loving, Faithful Animal by Josephine Rowe and Wild Houses by Colin Barrett In non-fiction, Ciara enjoys narrative, memoir and essay collections. She is interested in hearing from experts, academics, critics and journalists writing about society, culture and food, and excited by writers seeking to revise, reshape or revolutionise the conversation in their area of expertise. Some of her favourite non-fiction titles include How To Survive A Plague by David France, The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye, the Living Autobiography Series by Deborah Levy, Last Witnesses: Unchildlike Stories by Svetlana Alexievich, King Kong Theory by Virginie Despentes; and she particularly enjoys the work of M.F.K Fisher, Annie Ernaux, Natalia Ginsburg and Helen Garner.

In our fast-paced world, protecting our energy and honoring our needs has become more essential than ever. This 2-hour workshop combines the ancient heart-opening medicine of ceremonial cacao with the creation of personal medicine bags designed to support healthy boundaries and deep self-care. Through the gentle guidance of ceremonial cacao, you will connect with their inner wisdom to understand what boundaries you need in your life. This isn't about building walls - it's about creating loving protection that allows your authentic self to flourish while filtering out what doesn't serve you. During this transformative experience, you'll learn to: Recognize the difference between healthy boundaries and harmful barriers Identify energy drains and relationships that need clearer limits Connect with your inner "no" and "yes" through heart-centered awareness Create sacred space for your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being While in the expanded heart space that cacao provides, you'll create a personal medicine bag that will serve as daily reminders of your commitment to self-care. These aren't just beautiful objects - they're powerful tools for maintaining energetic boundaries and supporting your well-being. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The only medical contraindications are mixing Ceremonial Cacao with antidepressants, anti-psychotics, suffering from heart conditions, low blood pressure or serious illness. In this case, please let me know on the day and you will be offered herbal tea. If you are on any anti-depressants, antipsychotics or any medication for mental health please get in touch with me. Ceremonial Cacao can cause serious interactions. Please arrive with an empty stomach - no food for 3-4 hours prior to the ceremony. A little fruit is fine if you desperately need it, however the Cacao is very filling and nourishing!Please avoid caffeine, alcohol, dairy, red meat and junk food for 24 hours before and after - they do not mix well with Cacao. Keep well hydrated by drinking plenty of water. If you smoke, please try to reduce as much as possible, especially if it is not pure tobacco due to the chemicals as cacao is a strong stimulant & detoxifier.If you want to get the very best out of the ceremony and support your integration, it is recommended to continue this diet for 48-72 hours before and after.  Open to all – everyone welcome.

This isn’t a course. It’s a consecration. A sacred spiral for women in midlife who feel the shift — and are ready to rise. There comes a moment when the roles you've played no longer fit. When the masks feel heavy. When the rhythm you’ve lived by begins to falter. Not because you’ve failed. But because you’re becoming, something powerful, sovereign, and beautifully indefinable. You’re not losing yourself. You’re rediscovering the fire that never truly went out. 🔮 What is Hearth of Hera? Hearth of Hera is a 7-week live, online spiral for women in midlife who know they’re no longer who they were — but aren’t yet sure who they’re becoming. It’s not about self-improvement. It’s not a coaching programme or a checklist. It’s a return — to voice, sovereignty, magic, and self-remembrance. If you’ve felt the call, your place is already waiting. 🌿 This journey is for you if: * You’re in midlife or standing at a powerful threshold moment * You’ve outgrown old identities, rules, or rhythms that no longer serve * You want sacred space that honours your depth, sensitivity, and magic * You’re ready to reclaim your voice — spiritually, creatively, unapologetically * You crave gentle ritual, beautiful structure, and a pace that honours your energy * You long for sisterhood without pressure or performance * You’re tired of trying to be “enough” and just want to be true No application. No performance. Just resonance — and your readiness to return to yourself. 🔥 What You Receive * 🕯 7 live weekly Zoom circles (Mondays at 6pm BST – replays available) * 🌀 A growing 7-card tarot spread — one new card drawn and explored each week * 📝 Creative prompts and voicework exercises * 🔥 Weekly rituals to support your unfolding (simple and flexible — no pressure) * 🌙 Optional journal and embodiment practices you can explore at your own pace * 📱 A private Telegram group for connection, sharing, and gentle sisterhood Whether you attend live or follow the replays, you’ll be fully held. ✨ The Spiral Path: Your 7-Week Journey Each week brings a new threshold — a deepening into voice, truth, and sovereignty: 1. Root the Flame — anchor into belonging and inner ground 2. Ignite the Flow — awaken creative, emotional, and energetic movement 3. Sing the Soul — speak your truth and reclaim the myth you live 4. Name the Boundaries — honour your yes, your no, your sacred edge 5. Clarify the Vision — attune to desire, direction, and knowing 6. Burn the Falsehoods — release what no longer fits or serves 7. Rise to Be Seen — stand whole, witnessed, and unshaken This is not a linear curriculum. It is a spiral of becoming — rooted in rhythm, ritual, and resonance. We begin 7/7. Come. Sit by the hearth. Your fire is waiting.
