Adhama offers custom gods for business and prosperity. But the clay figures come at a cost; for her clients, for herself, and for the gods she must combat and contain.

I’m very happy to share that Beneath Still Stars is now part of the Barrie Public Library collection.

Libraries play a vital role in our communities and connecting readers with new stories, and it’s incredibly meaningful to see the book available in that space.

If you’re in Barrie, you can now borrow it through the library system.

If you’re elsewhere, you can often request books through your local library—many systems accept reader requests and use them when deciding what to add.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the book and helped it reach this point.
