Devon Yates has been chasing dragons since long before she started writing about them — first through the pages of Tolkien and George R.R. Martin, then through the wilds of Skyrim, and now through sweeping tales of magic and destiny all her own. She recharges on wooded hiking trails with a 2000s rock playlist on repeat, firmly believing the genre's comeback is long overdue, and shares her home with a fearless Pomeranian named Boots who is convinced he is the main character. Lately, she's writing cozy fantasy; a genre near and dear to her heart.

I'm excited about my latest book, "The Fox and the Innkeeper." It's essentially the origin story of the Lavender Fox Inn, and Kip the Fox.

I've read a lot of feed back on my first two Thistledown Hollow novels, and took a lot of it to heart. So, this time, I actually hired an editor off of Fiverr - I truly believe that this book is my absolute best work yet, Read more of this blog post »

"There was so much heart in this book and apparently I needed it because I don’t think there was a chapter where I didn’t need a tissue. I had a mountain by the end of it because there was just so much feeling and sadness but in a good way, you know?
