Keys in the Dust

Arriving August 2025

What if one silver key could unlock your power—and your destiny?

Willow Todd never expected a mysterious key to lead her to Rookes College, a hidden school of elemental witchcraft on an island shrouded in glamor. As a Spirit witch, Willow enters a world of natural magick, sisterhood, and ancient traditions—where students bond with animal familiars and harness the power of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit.

But Rookes isn’t just a sanctuary. A deadly hurricane is coming, threatening to destroy both the island and the balance of the Otherworld. Guided by mentors inspired by historical heroines, Willow and her coven must raise a Cone of Power to defend their home.

As Willow’s magickal gifts awaken, so does her connection to Elliott—a mysterious Spirit witch with a broken past. Together, they’ll discover that love, nature, and unity may be the most powerful magick of all.

Perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches, The Nature of Witches, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

Looking Glass Theory

Arriving September 2025

What would you change if you could live your life again—through a mirror’s reflection?

After the sudden death of her husband, Nora Hewitt moves to coastal North Carolina hoping to rebuild her life through her dream interior design firm. But when she acquires a stunning set of antique mirrors, eerie occurrences begin to shatter her reality. Whispers in the glass. Flickers of movement. A reflection that isn't her own.

As the mirrors pull her deeper into a haunting past, Nora befriends a skeptical ghost hunter who helps her uncover buried truths: a string of disappearances, secret experiments, and her own family's mysterious legacy. When her sister vanishes without a trace, Nora must face what she’s always feared—that the past is not finished with her, and some mirrors were never meant to be looked into.

A southern gothic tale of grief, love, and the supernatural, Looking Glass Theory blends paranormal suspense with heart-wrenching mystery.
