A New Chapter Begins

There is something a little surreal about watching stories that have lived in my head and on my computer begin to become actual books.

Right now, I’m preparing for the launch of Daughters of the North, a series built around Viking-age warrior women whose stories deserve to stand at the center of the page. At the same time, several very different worlds are waiting in the wings—from ancient mysteries and dark fantasy to paranormal suspense and stories inspired by the questions history never quite answered.

Behind the scenes, I’m also building Ash & Thorn Publishing Co., preparing manuscripts for publication, refining covers, researching the history behind future books, and creating a place where readers can follow everything as it comes together.

There is a lot happening—and this is where I’ll share it.
