"charmingly witchy adult fantasy" ~Booklife Reviews

Fans of cozy fantasies and compelling adult women protagonists who find purpose—and fabulousness—in nature, magic, and new connections will adore the laid-back, lavender-scented vibes as Olivia goes from destitute loneliness to settling into the charming village of Rowanswood, whose scones, teas, crockery, beasts, magic, and ritual all are described with inviting relish. Olivia’s journey to Cronehood is nuanced, her struggles endearingly human as she finds her path toward letting go of her old life to embrace the new.

About

I started to write when I was eight years old – writing, illustrating, and making little books. I was heavily influenced by fantasy even then (The Borrowers, I seem to recall). I pursued my writing passion with a degree in English Literature. But then life took one of its funny little turns and I ended up in finance and accounting for the duration of my career.

Travel has been a big part of my life (since I was three years old). Here are a few photos from my adventures.

When retirement finally released me from the world of business, I was able free to pursue my fierce love of writing. Now, I’ve reinvented myself as an author. I have three middle-grade novels published. The Chic Crone is my first novel for adults and the first in The Rowanswood Crones series.
