Eleanor of Rooksgrave Manor, a reboot of my Rooksgrave Manor novella.
Here's a synopsis:
When Eleanor Teague arrives at the mysterious Rooksgrave Manor, she expects scandal, but not sanctuary.
Hidden behind its velvet curtains and candlelit halls, she finds a haven where desire and monstrosity intertwine, and where her own hunger is not something to be tamed but celebrated. Among the manor’s visitors are four who claim her heart in impossible ways: Sterling Cawley, a tragic and tender ghost whose devotion transcends death; Kaem, a sin-born demon who teaches her indulgence without shame; Ozyth, an eldritch water-being, fluid and reverent, who worships her like the tide; and Corin Vaelyth, a dark and dangerous fae whose power is as seductive as it is unpredictable.
Yet even as Eleanor begins to find love among monsters, whispers of her lost lover, Leopold, follow her through every shadowed corridor. His death was a mystery, his undeath, an even darker one, and the truth waiting beyond Rooksgrave’s gates may cost Eleanor everything she’s learned to want.
I'm so excited to be finally able to work on this.

I'm so happy to hear this, honestly, because yes! I'm working on a reboot of the Rooksgrave Manor Novella (expanding into a full novel), as well as 2 spinoff standalones in the same verse featuring new heroines. I'm planning for Eleanor of Rooksgrave Manor to be released on December 15, 2025.
I'm also working on a reboot of the Time Witch Chronicles (new title will be: The Time Witch's Shifters), it'll be a stand-alone novel as well, but it will complete Lily's story from beginning to end and a bit in between as well! It will be released in early 2026!
