Trailblazer is coming this May!

Blog Articles

The first book in my Baptism by Fire duology, Trailblazer (which has been sitting collecting digital dust in my computer forever), is through final edits by the wonderful Jovana Shirley of Unforeseen Editing, and has been submitted for Kindle preorder!

It will be released on May 20, 2024 for both Kindle and Kindle Unlimited!

For the time being, I am focusing solely on releasing the Kindle editions for this series, but for those looking for paperbacks, they will be out closer to 2025. I plan on creating a duology boxset once both books are published so that no one needs to repurchase paperback copies once the boxset is available.
It will be a little while, but if all goes according to plan, the final product will be gorgeous.

This series is a little unusual, as it’s a departure from my typical style of writing and genres, since it’s my first fantasy western. It still leans heavily on fantasy elements, but it was really fun to create a non-Earth western novel, and even more fun having my amazing cover artist, Thea Magerand (who also did the cover for We Who Burn, so you KNOW it’s good!) create such exceptional art for it and its sequel, which is done and also ready to be published this year, after it goes through final edits.

I can’t wait to hear feedback for Trailblazer, and I hope you enjoy reading Dahlia’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope that everyone is staying safe out there, and happy writing!

Recent releases and upcoming news for more!

Greetings! 

It’s been a busy year for me so far, which is somewhat exhausting given that it’s not even March yet. I’ve had a lot of stuff going on, some good, some bad, so keeping up with my blog has been a chore I’m slacking on. 

But have you heard the good news? This one’s a two-fer!

The Devil & the Dreamer, the sequel to The Witch & the Wolfwood, released on January 31! Pick up your copy and find out what became of Iris and Helena, and what secrets get revealed about the true origin of Helena’s powers.

In upcoming events, Trailblazer, my novel with magic and gunslingers in a western-like land without mercy, is set to release soon, and I’ll have more information available in the coming months.

A little sneak preview from Trailblazer to whet your appetite: 

“Humans wouldn’t stop killing our kind. Verygg—you’ll learn about her in Whitebird Hollow—she was a powerful calamity. Split the land to make an impassable gap between us and them. Scorched the sky and broke the earth in two. Sacrificed herself to save all of witchkind.”

“Then how come witches don’t stay in Whitebird Hollow, where it’s safe?” asked Wini, perplexed. 

Dahlia’s brows drew downward. “Because when you build yourself a place of safety but you ain’t allowed to leave, that’s not a home—that’s a cage.”

How are your writing projects coming along?

I’ll be updating in a couple of months with some news about Trailblazer’s sequel, so stay tuned!
