FAQS

What genre do you write in?

I write epic fantasy with a dark, romantic edge for adult readers.

Is there spice in your book?

Yes. My books include on-page sex scenes written for an adult audience. Spice levels are subjective, but readers have rated my books around a 2–3 on a scale where 1 is mild and 5 is erotica-level heat.

Will you write more than The Broken Sword Duology? Will it be set in the same world as The Shadow Weaver?

Yes! I plan to write a prequel to The Shadow Weaver, followed by three more duologies set in the same world, each featuring different couples. As for which characters from The Broken Sword Duology will get their own books… you’ll have to wait and see!

Are there ARC and Street Team opportunities?

Yes! To stay updated on opportunities to join my ARC or Street Team, sign up for my author newsletter. I’ll also announce openings on Instagram and TikTok as a book release approaches.

Do you offer direct sales and signed books?

I don't sell direct, but if you are in New Zealand or Australia, you can find The Shadow Weaver in bookstores and libraries, or if it's not at your local store, have the bookseller order it in for you. If you're located outside Australasia, you can order the ebook from Amazon US and UK.

Can I interview you on my blog or podcast?

I’m always open to interview requests! Feel free to reach out via my website contact form or email me at Ivy@ivycliffwater.com. Please include a link to your blog or podcast and a brief outline of what you’d like to discuss.

Do you give out bonus material?

Yes! If you’re part of a book club or reader group reading my book, reach out to me, and I’ll send you a book club questionnaire and a fun quiz to discover what kind of Weaver you’d be. If you’re in New Zealand, let me know—I might be able to send a few goodies for you and your group.

Another great way to get bonus chapters and sneak peeks at upcoming books is to—yep, you guessed it—sign up for my newsletter!
