The Honesty of Wings is the first book of The Corvid Legacy series, and I am so excited it’s finally here!

I can’t wait for you to explore the world of Alternia and meet Rya, Bray, and Vale! I’ve been writing and revising this book for a few years (the pandemic really slowed me down!), and am so happy to see it in the world!

Speaking of worlds, let’s talk Alternia. Think New York City with gargoyles, Long Island with merrow, upstate with human-raven hybrids, gold-covered villages (and people!), and a mysterious forest in which a dangerous realm resides. Add a layer of steampunk, a splash of ballet, and a sprinkle of magic. Basically, I took the shape and bones of New York State and added a healthy dose of fantasy.

I have to say, it’s a lot of fun taking something familiar and pulling from it to create an alternative version. I grew up in New York, so it holds a special place in my heart, and for a long time I’ve been wanting to build a story upon it. You might recognize some places and even some names that to me sounded magical enough to keep in a fantasy version. I would love to hear your thoughts on the world of Alternia!

And I'd very much appreciate it if you would please take a moment to leave a review on your purchase site and/or on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6....

A Necessary Darkness is now available for Kindle!

In the thrilling conclusion to The Timeless Ones, Merry finds that sometimes power isn’t enough to save the ones you love. As she fights to gain control of her memories and her life, William struggles to overcome the Tall Man’s mark and maintain any good that remains inside him. Meanwhile, unnatural disasters plague Salem, and when the doors to the dead open on October 31st, Merry, William, and the people of Salem will face their greatest challenge.

My first novel, The Timeless Ones, and soon to be released sequel, A Necessary Darkness, are both set in Salem, MA. I thought I'd share some of the things I love about that wonderful seaside city.

Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Salem (and why you should too!)

1. There are real witches and witch shops
2. At least one person is in a costume on any given day
3. The secret staircase in the House of Seven Gables
4. Wandering the streets with thousands of other costumed people on Halloween
5. It’s nickname is Witch City
6. The words “I am Wholly Innocent” are etched into the threshold of the Witch Memorial
7. My awesome cousin lives there
8. The smell of the ocean
9. Great restaurants and fun, non-witch, things to do too
10. The meaning of the name, Salem, is peace
