There’s something about autumn that feels like it was made for stories. The air sharpens, the nights creep in earlier, and the leaves fall like pages from an ancient book. It’s the season of lantern glow, blankets, and curling up with stories that give you both comfort and a shiver down your spine.

For me, autumn has always been fairy tale season. There’s a haunting quality to this time of year—when the woods feel a little darker, the wind whispers, and you almost believe that enchanted (and frightening) things could step out of the shadows.

That atmosphere is exactly what inspired i> Fabled, Book 1: Icebound. Drawing on The Snow Queen and Snow White, it’s a dark fairy tale reimagining filled with grief, identity, and the dangerous beauty of winter’s chill.

And here’s a little gift for fellow autumn readers: from October 3rd–5th, the ebook of Icebound will be free on Kindle. Check it out here and grab your free copy: https://a.co/d/dLIgYrD

So, if you’re looking for something to pair with your pumpkin spice and cozy blankets this week, maybe let a fairy tale keep you company. After all, autumn is the season where magic feels closest at hand.
