"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.

The Glamour Game

At Litha, fire reveals what glamour hides.

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.
