Painted Visions — Release Day Is October 6!

I’m so excited to share that Painted Visions releases on October 6! This cozy-fantasy installment returns to Moonlight Springs—where art, memory, and a dash of small-town magic tangle with second chances and found family.

What it’s about

Quincy Hawthorne, a quiet artist who runs the Crystal River Gallery, wakes to an irresistible pull to paint. By morning, her canvas holds the boardwalk at dawn—and a Victorian woman Quincy is certain she never painted. When the image refuses to behave like ordinary art, and a too-slick developer takes a suspicious interest, Quincy is nudged toward the Moonlight Inn and the circle of women who understand the town’s secrets. Enter Steven Zimmerman, an art restorer with a patient eye and a scholar’s heart, whose gift for uncovering what’s hidden pairs beautifully with Quincy’s emerging visions. Together, they’ll follow the clues that ripple through Quincy’s paintings—toward the truth, the Emerald Stone of Vision, and a choice that could protect (or imperil) Moonlight Springs.
