Brief update

Iris Deorre is very busy, but loving every moment of it! This does not  mean I have stopped writing, it just means I've slowed down a bit. I am slowly working on the next book to the Shattered series. I can't be exact when I will be done, but just know that I am working on it. 

So what has slowed me down? Well I have started a new job. Although it is part-time it has taken up some of my writing time. I am also studying, I'm in my second year of a psychology degree, for those of you who don't know. I am getting to the end of my module for this year, so once I have finished it - that will be around the end of May - I will have more time to write. 

It is a lot at the moment, but I do enjoy everything I do and I am sure that the more I learn and experience in my life, the more these experiences will appear in my writing. I hope this helps you understand why I've slowed down a little, and not to worry. I have not stopped writing!

Keep your eyes peeled for next story!

New Year, new book

Happy 2018! I hope it will be a great one. I have been working on this story for a few months and it's finally out. I'm happy that it's done. It hasn't been easy to write, but I have enjoyed every moment of it and I hope you do too. It's another a story on mental health. One of the reasons I am writing about it is because of my studies and working with people with mental health. I hope that this story brings awareness, but I also hope you enjoy it!




Audrey has obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and range of other mental health problems. She has never been in love and has spent time in and out of hospital. Audrey is afraid to take a shower in her own apartment because she thinks something bad would happen to her family. Its how her mind works, something a lot of people don’t understand. Audrey feels alone, and this only exacerbates her anxiety. The one good thing in her life is her passion for art. Audrey is a great artist and has held a job as a designer for seven years. Cruelty at work, although subtle, exists, and not a lot is done for her mental health in the work place.

But one day, Audrey’s life is about to change when Ashton moves into the apartment next door. The tall dark-haired hunk changes her whole world, or so it seems. Ashton has done something no psychiatrist has been able to do. Even Audrey’s mother, Stella, is shocked, in fact she is a little worried. How could this man change her daughter so swiftly? Could Ashton be the answer to her mental health issues? Does love conquer all or does it expose all? 

This book is available at Amazon UK and Amazon US

Enjoy!

Broken Wings -New story

I decided that instead of just writing about my new book, I would tell you about it. Have a look at my video below. The word tape at the end tells you just how old I am!







I hope you enjoyed that. For more detail about my book see below.

It was supposed to be the best day of her life. Morgan had waited seven years for this day, but on that day, the man of her dreams decided he didn’t want to marry her. Morgan’s world came crushing to the ground. This wasn’t the first time Xander had let her down, he had a habit of leaving and reappearing into her life.
As a surgeon and an older woman, it wasn’t expected that his departure would trigger Morgan to start to self-harm.  Morgan begins to struggle with her mental health and it doesn’t matter how hard she tries, she can’t stop hurting herself.  Shame and fear keep her from seeking help for a while, but there comes a point when she can no longer take it and it’s either sink or swim. Morgan needs help, some sort of life line. Will she receive one or will she sink? Will the man she once loved help or hinder her? There are so many roads she can take, but only one road will bring her back to normal. The only problem is, Morgan struggles with making the right decisions. Sometimes love can conquer all, sometimes old love can conquer all and sometimes love isn’t enough. Only Morgan can make that decision and perhaps the best love she can receive is the love she gives herself.

This is a story of overcoming and understanding that mental health isn’t sentence of doom, but sometimes it’s an awakening to the true self.



Excerpt 



‘No. It’s fine. These things need sorting I guess. This wasn’t what they expected.’ She forced a smile. ‘Excuse me a sec. Need the loo.’ She left them and rushed upstairs.

She locked the door behind her and grabbed the scissors. She didn’t want to do this. She knew this wasn’t a solution, and that the more she cut herself the worse she’d make her skin, but even with that thought, she just couldn’t help it. She couldn’t not do it; the emotional pain was demanding to be heard or suppressed. The emotional pain was intense, she wanted it out of her body, she wanted it to leave her alone. It felt as thought she’d been possessed by something evil that was causing her so much pain that she had no power to get rid of it except mark herself again with the scissors. She drew a line parallel to the one she had made earlier that morning. It was as if the evil departed as the blood dripped out, relieving her once again!

‘Everything okay?’ Jade asked once Morgan walked back into the kitchen.

‘Yes fine. I want you guys to stop worrying about me, I’m doing okay.’

‘What about Xander? Have you heard from him?’

‘No.’ She didn’t want to talk about it, but she knew her friend meant well. ‘He’ll come around when he’s ready.’

Milo opened and shut his mouth, he wanted to tell her what he would do to the bastard, as well as tell her not to take him back, but they had been down that road before.


This book is available at Amazon US and Amazon UK

Hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed telling it.

Excerpt

She found him begging on a street corner a block away.
‘Remember me?’ she asked.
‘Who are you?’
‘I asked you about the restaurant owner. You said you knew Lucy.’
‘Who are you?’ he asked again.
She pulled her mobile from her pocket and showed him the Lucy’s picture. He seemed saddened.
‘Do you know what happened to her?’
He was silent.
‘Do you know what happened to this lady? Did you see her leave and get into a car?’
‘Who are you?’ he asked again, and she wondered if he was a bit looney or he was just being cautious.
‘I’m a detective. I’m looking for this lady. Her parents are very worried about her. If you can help me that would be great.’ She put the phone closer, so he could take a good look at her face.
‘Do you know her?’ she kept her voice calm. She would be as patient as she could be. That was the only way she would get answers.
‘She’s really pretty.’
‘Yes, she is. Did you see her at all?’
‘She gives me coffee, but not anymore.’
She sucked in a deep breath. They were going in circles. Did he even know who he was?
‘Have you seen her?’
He was silent, then looked out into the street. She moved towards him and looked into his eyes. He had a vacant look. ‘Sir.’ She changed the picture to Noah’s. ‘Do you know this man?’
He didn’t move.
‘Sir?’
This time he tilted his head to the side and looked. ‘Bad man,’ he said and looked away.
‘Sir. Do you know him?’ She was onto something.
‘Bad man. Very bad man.’
‘Why do you say that?’ he looked around him, crouched, picked up his rucksack and sleeping bag. He started to walk away.
‘Sir.’ She rushed after him.
‘Who are you?’ he said once again.



Hope you enjoy!
