Return to Wraithwood...

Wraithwood is back in paperback with some cool new interior features!

For the lovers of YA fantasy and Arthurian legend, I'm happy to announce that this contemporary fantasy is back in print.

An estranged uncle, a mysterious mansion, and Arthurian legend.

Brynna "Brinnie" Lane has always lived a quiet life under the watchful eye of her hovering mother-until she's sent off for the summer to live with an uncle she didn't know she had. While her parents get to travel across the globe, she'll be spending three months in the middle of nowhere: upstate New York. It looks like she might spend the entire summer friendless with her nose in a book.

However, she soon finds that Wraithwood Estate, her uncle's creepy old mansion, holds as many secrets as the man himself. When Brinnie is warned not to explore any of it, her curiosity only grows. As unnatural events take place and Brinnie hears whispers of a hidden war, she must unravel the truth about her family's mysterious past if she wants to survive.

Something terrible happened at Wraithwood thirty years ago, and Brinnie is determined to find out what-even if it means confronting the possibility that magic is real.

I hope everyone experiencing winter storms is staying safe and warm!

If your work is closed today like so many are in my neck of the woods, it might be a great time to curl up with a blanket and a free ebook!

Dear Hero is free on Amazon, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Hope and I would love for you to enjoy a rompy, humorous superhero rom com to hopefully bring you some joy in this dark winter.

What’s it about?

There’s an app for everything, even meeting a new nemesis.

Up-and-coming teen superhero Cortex is on top of the world— at least, until his villain dumps him. If he’s going to save his reputation, he needs a new villain to fight, and fast. Meanwhile, the villainous Vortex has once again gotten a little overeager and taken out a hero prematurely. Will any young hero be able to keep up with her?

Enter Meta-Match, a nemesis pairing site for heroes and villains. The two match right away, and after throwing punches at each other behind coffee shops, practicing their fight choreography, and hiring henchmen to do their bidding (mostly just getting them coffee), they realize they have a lot more in common than names that annoyingly rhyme.

But not everything in the superhero world is as it seems. Can a hero really trust a villain to do the right thing? And can a villain trust a hero not to screw them over? As darkness from the past threatens them both, they may need each other for the fight to come.

Told entirely through texts, transcriptions, and direct messages, this darkly humorous chat fiction rom-com goes behind the scenes of the superworld.

One month left to read The Wraithwood Trilogy on Kindle Unlimited!

A mysterious mansion, Arthurian legend, magic, and adventure await in this award-winning contemporary YA fantasy trilogy.

The rights to The Wraithwood Trilogy are returning to me at the end of November. I’ve hugely appreciated my time with Mountain Brook Fire, and I give huge kudos to the great team there.

Keep an eye and ear out for updates next year about what is coming next for The Wraithwood Trilogy. One thing I can say—it will not be returning to KU, so if you’re a KU lover who has been considering Wraithwood, time is running out to give it a read!

First day of PopCon!

Had a great time on a panel on book marketing, and I’ve already met a lot of really cool people. I’ll be here all weekend!
