Oh, hi there. Nice to see you. Where have I been? Well, I’ve been around but . . . not. Life is lifing and I am HORRIBLE at updating this website and even more horrible about prioritizing social media. (Or really good about ignoring social media depending on how you look at it.)
Good news is, “Hot Ghoul Summer”, the Welcome to Moonridge prequel novella is live! You can purchase it now on Kindle, and for those of you who subscribe to KDP, you can read it for free!
And now for the question I know many of you are begging me to answer (and I know this because I’ve read your emails). When can we expect book four? I gotta be honest. I don’t have a date for you yet. I had written several chapters, set it aside for several weeks to deal with some personal stuff and when I went back to it I hated everything and I scrapped it and went back to the proverbial drawing board.
So, I’m working on it. Honestly, right now, I am working through the plots of the next two books. I really want to wrap up this Concord storyline (or at least this version of it) in the next two books if I can, but there are many loose threads I need to tie up and I want to do them in a way that honors the characters and the story. The good news is, while working through this, I know the ending of book five and I have ideas of where to take the series after this storyline is wrapped up. I have also been diving into each member of the Concord so I know their stories and what led them to join (whether willingly or not) and in doing so I am thinking I might publish a companion book that focuses on each of the members of the Concord Thirteen. Right now, I’m thinking I’ll release book four then maybe release The Concord stories and then book five over the next couple of years. Will it play out that way? Who knows. I may end up hating it and scrap it completely, but that’s the plan.
I know I’m quiet, my newsletter is basically comatose and my social media presence is basically nonexistent, but that doesn’t mean I’ve gone anywhere. I just need to find a better balance between life, the day job, writing and my online presence. I’ll try harder. 🙂 Thanks for sticking with me and helping to get the word out about this crazy little series.
I’ll do my best to give an update soon. Until then, have an amazing summer!

Who’s ready for a “Hot Ghoul Summer”? (Sometimes I can’t even with myself.)
I promised a synopsis and cover of the upcoming novella, and since I stay true to my promises, here it is.
As I mentioned earlier, anyone who signs up for my ARC team will get a free copy way before anyone else. (It’s not set to be on sale until June 30th.) ARC team sign-ups will be coming soon.
Without further ado, here’s the official cover and synopsis:
Hazel Thornton is a small-town witch on the verge of becoming Moonridge’s next Virtus Suprema, a role her family has held for generations. All she has to do is survive her trial, keep her emotions in check, and avoid publicly imploding after her boyfriend dumps her without warning.
La’Tasha Morehouse has been at Hazel’s side since grade school. She’s the steady one. The strategist. The witch who knows how to catch Hazel when she starts to fall. She understands the town’s magic at a structural level and has spent years holding it together from the sidelines. When chaos erupts and the wards begin to fail, La’Tasha is forced to confront a long-suppressed legacy of her own.
As magical disasters escalate and a trickster ghoul emerges, Hazel and La’Tasha must rely on the bond that has carried them through every disaster since childhood. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that the threat isn’t just supernatural. It’s political, personal, and rooted in the very foundation of the town.
Magic, mystery, and fiercely loyal friendship collide in this prequel novella that sets the stage for the Welcome to Moonridge series.
