Here is my awards eligibility post for The Shabti, my spooky, sweet, and joyfully pulpy debut. A reformed phony medium and a gentle Egyptology professor grapple with a haunted artifact (and fall in love). 

Historical fantasy/supernatural thriller with a tender queer romance at its heart.

When I wrote "The Magic of Trees" I knew this book would spread so much love. I'm feeling the love today for sure with this news.

"Public libraries are our cultural diamonds. They enable readers’ imaginations to sparkle, they support thousands of local groups, they provide advice to businesses and charities, enabling them to flourish, they give individuals who might otherwise be lonely or cold a space to open up. We lose them at our peril. So it is beyond brilliant that The Bookseller is creating a new Library of the Year Award, which will help give recognition to vital projects striving to put libraries back at the heart of the communities they serve."

The Reanimator's Heart got 3rd place in BBNYA 2023!

I never expected my weird little book about a gay, autistic necromancer and his accidentally undead lover to do so well ;--; but thank you, peeps.

The Reanimator's Heart is out in ebook, paperback, and audiobook (and in library systems) if you're interested, and book 2, The Reanimator's Soul, is currently out in ebook and paperback (also in libraries).
