Every Thirteen Years releases on the 27th!
Preorders for the ebook are available right now.
(And if I'm lucky, I might even get the paperback out a wee bit before that, though currently my other tab is the cover file just spinning and spinning and not uploading property, so... wish me luck.)
This is one of my favorite books I've ever written. At its heart, Hansel and Gretel is a story about siblings. I looovvvveee that in stories and I've done my darndest to capture it in this book. Add a little spookiness, a serial killer, a paranormal twist, and a touch of romance, and here you are.
The forest doesn't need a curse. It has a killer.
Every thirteen years in the month of May, a child disappears in the woods.
And this is the year.
Which means there’s a strict rule against any children or teens going into the woods. Which means the parties start almost immediately. Which means that when Hans sneaks out to attend the final one on May 31st, his little sister follows him.
Which means that things are going to get bad.
A paranormal twist on Hansel and Gretel, where the real danger isn't just getting lost.
Until Ella starts hearing strange voices.
As rogue wolves begin to stalk the edges of town and a serial killer with a penchant for silver bullets draws closer, the city of Napper seems to wake up.
Ella, with her new friends, Sam and Sarah, might be able to find out what the strange occurrences mean. Except that they’re all being pulled in different directions by people who love them; and some who don’t. Before they lose their way to the whispers they hear from the past, or the call to a future they’re not sure they want to create, the friends will need to confront who they really are and figure out what’s hiding in the silence of their sleepy little town.
With airships and firebombs, the Moldorns have conquered all in their path. After barely escaping a sneak attack, Teron, a fledging wizard, returns to his northern homeland. There, he convinces the High Masters to deputize him to fight the Moldorn threat.
Teron returns to the south in disguise. By day, he is Aurik-Ib-Bhendi, a foreign physician who ingratiates himself into the Emperor’s court. At night, he becomes the Mooncrow, a masked swordsman terrorizing the Moldorn lords in their towering citadel. But how long can he keep up the masquerade?
Will he be discovered and killed? Or might the Emperor’s daughter, who has fallen in love with the mysterious physician, save him in the end?
On her twenty-first birthday, Crown Princess Winterberry is supposed to ascend the throne of Canens. But before she can claim her birthright, a ruthless betrayal rips her from the palace. Arrested, sold into slavery, and stripped of her name, Winter enters a deadly game of survival—all at the hands of her stepmother, Queen Blanche.
Winter's sole help is the Crown’s Curse, an ancient prophecy that dooms anyone who spills royal blood. But Queen Blanche is nothing if not determined to kill Princess Winter, no matter the cost. And with her Fae magic, Blanche might succeed.
Trapped in enemy territory, Winter’s only hope lies in an unlikely ally: a rival prince willing to risk his throne—and his life—to find his kidnapped sister. Forced together in a perilous fight against fate, Winter and Prince Ruslan must outwit a queen who will stop at nothing to claim the crown and ruthlessly destroy her enemies.

Ancient lost ones, feared reyuul, and even a dragon stand in her way as Gossama risks her life and soul to reclaim her home and her identity.
Life-long thief Apollo Tamlin has been marked for execution. When the mage Queen Surayo offers him a pardon, he doesn’t ask questions - any task she has is better than a walk to the gallows.
Succeed, and not only will it preserve peace in his homeland, but Apollo can rebuild the life he’s ruined.
