Happy summer!!
I’ve been haaard at work these last few weeks, but since I have a couple of events coming up, I thought I should probably, you know, tell people! I do actually want to see you!
First up, I will be in conversation (so fancyyyy) with the awesome Autumn England! (You may know them as MK England!) Their newest book, called FIELD GUIDE FOR THE FORMERLY VILLAINOUS, is out now, and we’ll be chatting all about it at the Harrisonburg, VA Barnes and Noble on June 7, at 3pm!
And gosh, just look how cute this book is!
STARDEW VALLEY meets STUDIO GHIBLI in a charming cozy fantasy about healing, redemption, and the subtle magic of simple living. Perfect for fans of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea and The Spellshop. Welcome home, weary traveler.
When Oaklin Nettlewood accidentally joined an evil world-ending cult, mind control magic forced them to do unspeakable things. Years later, the realm's heroes have finally saved the day, defeated the villain, and shattered the last remnants of the spell...leaving destruction in their wake. And so, with a spell-damaged memory and whole bushel of trauma, Oaklin escapes to a small farm on the edge of Mossley's Rest and swears an oath: After all the things they were forced to do with their magic, they will never use it again. Ever.
The no-nonsense ghost granny who lives in Oaklin's house has other ideas. As she coaxes Oaklin out of their shell and back into the world, they find companionship (a grumpy horse and a very good dog), friendship (a local bard and magical baker who should just kiss already), and tentative romance (a paladin-librarian who makes Oaklin's heart come alive for the first time in ages.) Magic even seems possible again―though strictly for foraging magical mushrooms and protecting the farm from bugs.
Healing comes in gentle waves, and Oaklin doesn't have to do it alone. So what does it mean when an inquisitor comes to town to hunt former cultists just as Oaklin begins to think that maybe, just maybe, they deserve a happy ending after all?
And on June 13, I’ll be in North East, Maryland for the Cecil County Children’s Book Festival!
As usual for festivals, I’ll have a few knit coffee cup sleeves to give away (actually, I think I’d better make a few more . . .), and this time, I’ll be doing an interactive dramatic reading of some of the text messages from BYE FOREVER, I GUESS. That means someone from the audience is going to read one of the parts. Will that be you?? (Seriously, if it’s you, tell me.)
If you’re in the area, definitely come by. The event is free aaaand I hear there will be some book giveaways!
And if you bring any of my books from home, I’d love to sign them for you.
Okay, I’m going to throw myself at my manuscript again, but IN SUMMARY . . .
June 7 — 3pm — talking up the amazing Autumn England! — Barnes and Noble — Harrisonburg, VA
