New Book Release!

Hello fellow readers! I have some exciting news to share that I hope will make readers of my previous “Ever After Tales” books especially excited.

My fourth book, “Into the Forest Deep,” a “Hansel and Gretel” continuation, will be released later this year! Exact release date isn’t available currently, but I’m aiming for mid-November. Once I have an exact date, I will share it with all of you!

I am so happy I get to share this book with my fellow fairy tale lovers, as it’s been sitting on my computer for years, waiting for the right time to become a “real book.” It’s seen quite a few changes since its initial drafting in 2019, but I’m confident it’s the strongest of my collection (so far) and one of my favourite stories to tell.

I’ve always wondered how the trauma of being left in the woods to die would impact two impressionable children; I hope my version of “Hansel and Gretel” has offered a glimpse into that generational trauma and how families can make it through and come out stronger. Don’t worry though: there’s still lots of romance, magic, and laughter in the pages, too!

“Into the Forest Deep” will be listed on Goodreads to put on your shelves and I will be regularly updating my Facebook and Instagram with purchasing information for those interested in where they can access my book.

Thank you to all my readers who have read either one, a few, or all of my “Ever After Tales” books – I hope you enjoy this one as much as the others!

Reuniting with Old Friends

It's been well over a decade since I last read my very first published book In A Cottage We Once Knew and so much has changed since then, especially my writing style and how I tell stories. This is one of the many reasons I've decided to release a second edition of Cottage later this summer!

I'll be working with the same publisher that I did for my last book Into the Forest Deep and my cover designer for my third book has returned to design a gorgeous new cover for this new edition. I'm so excited for readers to see it!

What does it mean when I say a new edition? The cover changes, a new ISBN number, and some content changes on the inside (mostly grammar/spelling) but other than that the overall story will stay the same. Fans of Eldric and Matilda will still get to enjoy their adventures, just with a refreshing face lift!

I will be adding the new edition to Goodreads and hope to have it out in paperback and ebook by August, but I'll provide updates if that changes.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to enjoy my Ever After Tales Collection series! I hope Eldric and Matilda's story will bring joy to new readers and those who discovered their tale years ago.
