Cover Reveal!
Fellow Midnight Tide author M.A. Brown is releasing a new book in August!

"The Seventh Sister is an epic dark romantasy set in a lush and immersive world with fairytale like elements, classic romantasy vibes, and an edge of your seat pace."

This looks great, and I can't wait!

If you like cooking, cozy fantasy, and creepy fae, then I might have just the story for you! There is a second book out now as well, and more in the works. Old gods, predatory dwarves, elven courts, magic, mayhem, and... a wumpus. What's a wumpus? You'll have to read and find out!

It’s release day for author C. Vonzale Lewis! Her new novel, Lineage, is a contemporary adult fantasy story about forbidden rituals and shady illuminati like organizations. Magick, mystery, evil plots and the possible return of an Old God. Nicole Fontane never wanted power, but now it might save us.

I want to share the work of a fellow YA author from my co-op with you all. J.C. Warren's "Life After" is a story of survival, set in the Pacific Northwest, after a major climate disaster makes many places in the world difficult to live in. It's full of heart and humanity, and I highly recommend it!

My latest book, featuring the continued adventures of Amandine and her friends. It’s full of cooking and magic, a bit of teen romance, and one very cool bigboi kitchen cat. Plus the weirdest meal Amandine has ever made. For dwarves. 🐈🐟⛵️

Since leaving Instagram, I have been lax in sharing new releases and covers. I don't feel like the shortform of Bluesky is best for this, but despite that I want to show you all the cover for an upcoming book I had the great pleasure to be an ARC reader for. It will release on 6/18/25

“ATaste of Darkness and Life” releases in ten days!!

It’s my third published novel and the second in my Seeker’s Kitchen series. I will be working hard these next two weeks to file off the rough edges and get the manuscript uploaded to all the places.

My books are available wheresver books are sold (except Apple ebooks because they are overly particular).

That said, I support local bookstores. Like this one, Comics Adventure in Milwaukie, OR. If you find my books in these places they will always be signed!

Please support libraries and local!
