It's been a while! I spent the last month preparing for a long surgery, which I had last Monday.

I'm currently home recovering, but just found out #TheNightward is having an ebook sale.

It's $1.99 on Kobo & Amazon!!

In Canada, the sale ends soon, so if you're interested in a fast paced scifantasy version of The Witcher meets Caribbean mythology set in a world ruled by women warrior-magicians, now's your chance!

Hugo nominations close in a few hours! Please consider my Locus & BSFA long-listed novel #TheNightward.

A young princess flees a coup with her protectors, but it's also a conversation about power & its intersection with gender & the stories we tell ourselves.

Click Here to pre-order the paperback edition of this book. Iris has spent her life under the watchful eye of the Archmagus, the enigmatic figure who saved her as a child and raised her within the dark walls of the Citadel. Trapped in a world of secrets and bound to the merciless winged warriors known as the Aello, Iris has longed for freedom. But when a daring thief crosses her path during one of the Archmagus' relentless hunts for ancient magickal artifacts, Iris discovers that escape will mean more than simply leaving. The Archmagus has hidden the truth of her origins-a truth so powerful that it shatters everything she thought she knew. Now, Iris stands at a crossroads: remain in the shadows as part of a twisted family of monsters, or risk everything to unravel her past and follow a dangerous new destiny. Her choice will change the fate of magick itself.
