The human world isn’t a safe place for shifters. Many live their lives hidden in plain sight, but sometimes accidents happen and secrets are revealed. Shifters who have been discovered find themselves on the run—unless they’re lucky enough to stumble upon Thornapple Valley.
Thornapple Valley is a shifter-friendly community. Its residents are either shifters themselves or they accept and protect shifters. There is safety in a town like this. Shifters can live their lives and be who they are without fear. It’s the perfect place to settle down. And even when things don’t go exactly as planned, love always finds a way.
The Cauldron is your one-stop shop for charms, candles, and questionable paranormal advice.
Saoirse is a psychometrist—able to glimpse the memories stored in objects with a single touch. It’s a powerful gift, but not one she dares advertise. The last thing she needs is to be labeled a monster. Only Katherine, The Cauldron’s self-proclaimed witch and Saoirse’s boss, knows the truth. Though Saoirse’s gift would undoubtedly draw customers, Katherine respects her decision to keep it hidden.
After all, Saoirse has more than her own secret to protect. Her best friend, Niamh, is a pooka—a shapeshifting troublemaker who would be carted off for scientific study if anyone discovered her.
For the most part, Saoirse’s life is quiet. The customers who wander into The Cauldron are usually seeking tarot readings or incense, and its odd trinkets rarely cause a stir. But that changes when a girl buys an expensive knife rumored to ward off werewolves. She doesn’t blink at the price, and something about her feels… off.
Is she just another paranormal fanatic, or could werewolves actually be real? Saoirse isn’t sure—but she’s about to find out.
Rimn is an empath cursed with the ability to feel every emotion around her. Captured by the ruthless slaver Gris, she dreams of the Cloud—a fabled utopia in the sky where she believes she can find peace.
Enduring torment and isolation, Rimn’s hope is rekindled when Squall, a daring desert-dweller, infiltrates Gris’s fortress and offers her a chance at freedom. But escaping Gris’s clutches is only the beginning. As Rimn joins Squall’s people, she becomes entangled in their fight against Gris, facing new challenges and discovering unexpected allies.
Determined to reach the Cloud, Rimn’s journey is fraught with peril and hope as she navigates a broken world on the path toward redemption and a new beginning.
Do you want to read chapters as I write them?
Well, now you can on my Ream!
What is Ream, you ask? It’s kind of like Patreon but focused on writers/readers, which means reading there is much nicer. You can read on your computer, phone, or tablet. You can change the colors, font, and text size and easily navigate chapters and everything—just like on your Kindle or whatever apps you use to read.
Definitely follow me there! (Following is free.)
I’m currently writing three stories:
- Thornapple Valley (paranormal romance)
- The Cauldron (urban fantasy)
- The Soul Seer Saga (fantasy/sci-fi)
The chapters I post on Ream aren’t the polished versions you’ll find in my published books, but that’s okay because you’ll get those, too!
Here’s how it works. These early-draft chapters will stay on Ream until the book they belong to is published. Then I’ll take those chapters down and give you the final eBook version in exchange. Sound good?
As an extra thank-you for supporting me, and therefore making it possible to publish these books, I’ll put your name in the acknowledgements of each book you help create!
Current posting schedule:
- 1 new chapter of Thornapple Valley every Monday
- 1 new chapter of The Cauldron every Wednesday
- 1 new chapter of The Soul Seer Saga every Friday
