Cover Reveal for THE LOST

COVER REVEAL!!! I am thrilled to share the gorgeous new cover art for the new expanded edition of THE LOST!

Coming November 11, THE LOST is about a woman who is trapped in a town full of only lost things and lost people. It's a book that's very close to my heart, and I am so grateful to have been able to revisit it and reshape it into the story I always wanted it to be, with the ending I always wanted it to have! And check out the new cover art by Fernando Juarez! I love it so much!

It's now available for preorder wherever books are sold! Look for the new edition with the new cover art!

THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE comes out today!!!

Today is the book birthday for my new cozy fantasy, THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE!!! I wrote this book because I believe that everyone deserves hope, love, friendship, second chances, and magic in their lives. Also, honey cakes, tiny dragons, and a winged cat!

THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE is set in the same world as THE SPELLSHOP (but you don't have to have read Spellshop to read it). It's about Terlu Perna, a librarian who broke the law because she was lonely. She cast an unauthorized spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue. This book is about what happens to her after that, when she wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses.

It's for anyone who might need a dose of comfort, joy, and kindness. 

Thank you to everyone at Bramble and Macmillan for bringing this book to life and for gracing it with Lulu Chen's gorgeous cover art and such lovely cool-mint sprayed edges! I loved every second of writing it, and I am so over-the-moon excited that it's out in the world!

Happy reading!!!
