Black Annis Year is now live!

Phew! It feels like this one was a long time coming. To be fair, it was
super fun to write. The words just seemed to materialize on the page. But this story of second chances, village life, and dark fairies is one that I’ve been wanting to write for many years, and I'm thrilled to finally share it with you.
Here’s what you can expect to find within the pages of Black Annis Year.
- Small town charm
- Quirky neighbors
- Amazing animal rescues
- Lost love, new love
- Dark fairies, light fairies
- Wind phones
- Folk music
- Poutine (French fries, gravy and cheesy goodness)
- Girls’ night out
- Farm life with a most impractical farm house
- Adorable fairy doodles
As you can see there’s a lot going on in this book. To celebrate all these different aspects, I decided to do something a bit different for launch day. Instead of having a launch party today, I’m going to wait a couple of weeks, until you have a chance to read Black Annis Year. Then I hope you’ll join me for a live video “Ask Me Anything” event on the Inbetween Group on Facebook on May 1st at 7:30pm EST. If there’s enough interest, I may do a second live event on the Discord Group.
In the mean time, I will be posting spoiler threads that feature one of the above topics with a safe space for those who have already read the book to discuss it and drop spoilers.
So look out for those spoiler threads on both Inbetween Groups (Facebook and Discord), and mark your calendar for the live event on May 1st. I look forward to chatting with you!

Small Town Charm Cozy Fantasy Contest

In another celebration of the Black Annis Year launch, I teamed up with six incredible fantasy authors to bring you the Small Town Charm Cozy Fantasy Contest—a celebration of stories that wrap you up like your favorite blanket.
Black Annis Year is set in a fictional version my own small town—complete with festive holiday markets, quirky neighbors, and a touch of magic. Over the past year, I’ve been collecting special goodies from real small-town markets to create a one-of-a-kind prize just for you.
One lucky winner will receive:
~ 7 cozy paperback or hardcover novels from participating authors
~ A charming Small Town Gift Pack filled with handmade treats and delightful finds
Contest runs April 17-30 and the winner will be announced at the live event on May 1. It’s easy to enter, and all the details are available on the contest page.
