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.

What If Success Didn’t Have to Cost So Much?
What if the way we pursue success matters just as much as the result itself? Tonya Leigh defines elegant success as “achieving a desired result in the simplest and most effective way possible”.

The Quiet Work No One Sees When You Publish a Book
Most readers only ever see the finished book — the cover reveal, the launch announcement, the polished novel sitting beautifully on a shelf. What they don’t see is the enormous iceberg beneath it: the revisions, technical problems, newsletters, graphics, scheduling, emotional resilience, and hundreds of small invisible tasks required to build a creative career over time.
I’m Not Writing to Prove Myself Anymore
For a very long time, I treated writing as a referendum on my worth. Not consciously, perhaps — but emotionally? That was often the system running underneath everything. Lately, though, something has been changing. I’m still ambitious. I still want readers. But I no longer want to build a creative life fuelled entirely by pressure.
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.
