Welcome to my creative space!

In this house we read, we write, and we take photos.

I have always loved creating and in the last year, writing has become one of my favorite activities. There are a few projects I am working on that I am excited to share with you!

Scroll on for more info about my next release: THE CANARY GIRL

THE CANARY GIRL

The Wastes are growing west and the king needs a witch. Again.

CALISSA TAWNEY wants nothing to do with the Book of Mages, the one thing that killed her parents, especially not when she has a sister to take care of and a shop to run. But as talk of the Book resurfaces and the king’s witch hunter descends, once again, on the town, the canaries sing their warning song.

AAYAN ASHMORE is the Captain of the King’s Guard and the infamous “witch hunter,” who has been ordered to ensure Calissa not only accepts the challenge of finding the Book of Mages, but returns with it alive. His own interests in the Book lie deep in the castle and nothing will stop him from obeying the king. Not even a stubborn witch.

The Book of Mages is the only object with the ability to stop the Wastes from destroying Kaidra, but it hasn’t been seen in decades and the quest to find it is littered with dead witches.

Their journey through the Spirit Wood is a long one and to make it back alive, they’ll need to keep their heads and their eyes forward. Because spirits aren't the only things that haunt the woods.

Only the Dead knew where they were now and they wouldn’t tell a soul.

Maybe it was everything. Maybe it was nothing at all.

Morbid Anniversaries
Only when Nora was done playing did she look over at him, her eyes a raging storm, threatening to destroy him. ‘Please,’ he begged. ‘I am already ruined.

Morbid Anniversaries
Pain didn’t reside in Death, it resided in life.

Morbid Anniversaries
But then she remembered whose hands they were and the feeling was gone in an instant.

Morbid Anniversaries
The force of her existence was enough to destroy the universe and he would gladly give himself up to be consumed by it all. Was certain it would be bliss.

Morbid Anniversaries

Read Chapter One

In the northern territory of Kaidra, tucked between the Spirit Wood and the sea, lived a quiet girl named Calissa Tawney who talked to birds.

They told her things. Important things.

About how the night had been shifting lately and the woods have been groaning.

About how the Wastes in the east were growing west again.

About how the king wanted another witch.

The information was good to have, but Lissa had her own business to mind, a sister to take care of, and a witch hunter to avoid. She didn’t have time to worry about greedy kings and lackluster threats. Lissa was simply replenishing her stocks of rosemary, lavender, and sage; the three main herbs people came looking for when they wanted protection charms.

And the people of Salindor always wanted protection charms.
