It's gone. It's all gone. Unable to return home, having to rely on the kindness of strangers, and lost without her Familiar, Ellie has to learn to stand on her own two feet. Cape Cod has much to offer in the secret magical community, but is Ellie really ready to learn the depths of betrayal and lies she's been fed her entire life? Are Guides real or just a legend told to kids in Oren to make them behave? Is Louie ever coming back?
I’ve been captivated by storytelling since my teenage years. This passion culminated into my debut novel, Drawing From the Void, a YA fiction novel about a girl who embarks on a magical journey of self-discovery. My writing is heartfelt, encouraging readers to nurture meaningful relationships, embrace imperfections, and find magic in everyday life.
I was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains. Now, I reside in Maine, with my husband and our spoiled cats. By day, I work in Human Resources, but by night, I bring my imagination to life, crafting magical stories that reveal wonder in the mundane. Inspired by nature and driven by a passion for animals, my creative voice shines in both my work and my life.
I have volunteered in wildlife rehabilitation, bottle-feeding porcupines, hand-feeding owlets, and even being bitten by a duck along the way. Outside of writing, my creativity extends to hobbies like gardening, drawing, crocheting, and making up songs about my cats.
Believing in the power of words to create change, my approach to writing and life is best described by Dr. Seuss in The Lorax: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing’s going to get better. It’s not.” I hope my storytelling reflects the power of kindness and the impact of small but meaningful actions.
I cried, I laughed, I swore and I screamed. Book 1 was thrilling, this one was more emotional, sad and cosy. Peaceful and an ever lurking danger cleverly humming in between the pages. Truly incredible.
