"Her room flamed with the sunset, becoming a bonfire to burn away the old year and officially remake the couple." My newest novel, 𝓟𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓛𝓪𝓭𝔂, officially comes out at the end of October this year through @shadowsparkpub! It features a witch who owns a plant shop, a circle of supportive Pagan friends, and a second-chance romance. I can't wait for you to enjoy my newest #WitchLit romance!

Sewing ritual clothes. I started making these this year, based on Viking, and iron age Celtic designs. I began by doing just the finishing by hand, but didn't feel like getting up and using the machine one day, so now they're something I completely hand stitch. And my stitching is improving hugely! I find this work soothing, calming, and meditative. We all need that sort of thing. What do you do that brings you a sense of peace and calmness?

“In the name of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, my wealth will grow, and I will achieve my goals,” she whispered forcefully.

Fern is determined to regain her grandparents' old garden nursery, and she'll use every tool in her arsenal to achieve her dream! As a young witch, she has much to learn about life and love. Sometimes magic works in unexpected ways. Wealth can take many forms, and our childhood ambitions often evolve as we age. Read her story in my upcoming #WitchLit novel, PLANT LADY, coming in autumn of 2023 through @shadowsparkpub!

Winter Solstice in Rock Bay

My newsletter subscribers got a little Winter Solstice treat in the form of a Yuletide poem featuring characters from my Rituals of Rock Bay series. Tonight I'll share it with everyone as thanks for your continued support. :) ❄️🌲🕯️ "Winter Solstice has come. All across Rock Bay, Pagans celebrate light Each in their own way. Lighting the hearth fire, Lacey preps for the rite While Cian bakes cookies For Solstice night. Wee Sylvia listens As her mother sings Of the bright sun’s rebirth And five golden rings. Across town, there’s a shop Where witches can go To buy Yuletide gifts While braving the snow. The Crystal Cauldron waits. Buy a wand or book A cloak or a candle. Why not take a look? Lydia decks the shelves With garlands of pine. Jan will read your fortune-- Next year will be fine. Margaret leaves with a bag. But what could it be? Bright handfasting cords For her and Anthony. They all meet at the grove For feasting and song. They circle out back; Now won’t be long. The longest night begins. Old friends gather near. Fiona leads the way While Rick leads the cheer. The Druids chant carols And pray to their gods. They make oaths and give drink To even the odds. All leave with a candle To help light their way And give each renewed hope For a brand new day."

A Saturday Snippet

It’s a rainy day here, and I spent much of the morning revising my upcoming novel, Plant Lady. After some angsty chapters, it’s so good to get back into the romance again!  “I don’t mean that kind of tension!” she protested, though she wasn’t so sure. Fern couldn’t deny how her pulse had rushed when Paul shielded her from the rain.

Plant Lady, a contemporary standalone about an urban witch and her second-chance romance, comes out next autumn from Shadow Spark Publishing! In the meantime, check out my Pagan Rituals of Rock Bay series starting with River Magic!

Blessed Samhain to all of you in the Northern hemisphere, and Beltane blessings to those of us here in the south.

Wisdom of serpent be yours,

Wisdom of raven be yours,

Wisdom of valiant eagle.

Voice of swan be yours,

Voice of honey be yours,

Voice of the spirits whisper.

Bounty of the sea be yours,

Bounty of land be yours,

Bounty of the god's virtues.

❤️🌳🦌🌳❤️

As much as I love my witchy non-fiction library, there's nothing quite like a novel for taking you places. Especially if it's characters and story are all about magic and practice and being the witch or Druid or Spiritworker...

Love the title page for The Gathering so much I printed it out to keep and admire 🙂

I think we can all do with a bit of Bear courage at the moment 🐻

The Gathering, a mythic, pagan fiction novel is out now for you to read. I'll be putting the second book The Belonging up on preorder later today.

Available on all major online book retailers. Paperbacks coming soon!

Read the magic ~ Be the magic.

Been a long time.

* dusts off the old Tumblr blog * I used to share fan fiction updates here, but I haven’t written any in a long time. I’ve been very preoccupied with my original characters and stories. If you’re interested in fiction about authentic contemporary Pagans, you may enjoy my Rituals of Rock Bay series available through Shadow Spark Publishing. Lacey and Cian must learn to navigate life, love, and magic along the Saint Lawrence River in Upstate NY. 

My latest novel, a standalone contemporary called “Plant Lady” will release in October of 2023! It’s about Fern - an urban witch who runs a plant shop but yearns to reopen her grandparents’ neglected greenhouse. While she can grow just about anything and bring luck to her clients, Fern struggles to make her own dreams come true. Life is further complicated when an ex-boyfriend suddenly appears at a Pagan meetup as they plan their annual Samhain Witches Ball.

Hope you’ll follow me through my continued writing journey!
