When Olivia Furie, the Fire Crone, accepts an invitation to a secluded island retreat, her fastidious house-piskie, Hamish Mackenzie, smells a mystery. Glamour magic runs high, rivalries simmer beneath the surface, and the solstice ritual promises spectacle—and danger—in equal measure.
When the ceremony goes catastrophically wrong, the retreat becomes a closed circle of suspects, cut off from the mainland by storm, magnetics, and an unstable Veil.
With his sharp-tongued feline partner, Magnus, at his side, Hamish must untangle illusion from intention to expose a killer hiding in plain sight—before the island claims another victim.
A cozy fantasy murder mystery set in the world of Rowanswood, featuring ritual magic, theatrical misdirection, and a cat who would very much like to go home.
Who you are born isn’t who you have to be.
A young vampire fights to break free from her dark destiny and forge her own path in a world of monsters and magic.

December Reads for When You’re Peopled Out
December is the perfect month to slip away from the holiday bustle with a warm drink, a soft blanket, and a magical story. Here are three cosy fantasy and paranormal reads to help you unwind when you’re feeling thoroughly peopled out.
Familiars with Attitude
In many fantasy stories, familiars are mysterious, silent creatures—always present, but rarely heard. That’s … not how it works in Rowanswood. Here, familiars have personalities as big as their Crones’, and plenty of attitude.
What Does It Mean to Be a Crone?
I’ll admit it: when I first heard the word crone as a child, it wasn’t flattering. It conjured up images of bent old women with crooked noses, muttering curses over cauldrons. It was a word meant to diminish, to make invisible. Not exactly a flattering image.
About the Author
I’m a recovering corporate executive writing paranormal women’s fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels age is just a number. My books explores what happens when midlife meets magic, and when ordinary women discover extraordinary power just when life expects them to shrink.
When I’m not writing, I can be found walking beside the sea, reading a book, or enthusiastically, if inexpertly, crocheting.
