A modern-day myth, a no-nonsense heroine, and tea leaves that never lie.
Claire knows where to find the people reported as ‘missing under suspicious circumstances’. Unfortunately, telling the authorities means Claire risks taking the blame for the disappearances. Infuriating.
Instead, if Claire wants to see justice in the world, her future-telling tea speaks (metaphorically) crystal clear: Claire must rescue the people from the mysterious, other-worldly cave at the end of the street herself.
Of course, she never factored an other-worldly job offer into the equation…
A modern-day twist on Hades and Persephone, in a world where belief controls the outcome of… everything. For readers who love a no-nonsense protagonist doing what needs to be done.
- Writing Is Such A Slow Artform *cranky face*Like, yes, this is relative, and some writers I know can write an excellent short story in a day – in fact, my collection April Showers, which contains some of my favourite ever short stories, was drafted in ten days IIRC, so I can definitely write a short story in two days. But. I’ve decided… Read more: Writing Is Such A Slow Artform *cranky face*
- Why I Decided To Republish An Old BookI’ve managed to snatch enough energy today to do a smidgen of publishing work (after spending all morning in bed, ha), and I am very excited to have gotten Life Had Other Plans fully uploaded to the printer, which means I can order a physical proof copy in about a week, yay!

- Making Peace With A Speed Of ZeroSo I made a commitment to keep blogging the other month, and then my website promptly died on me >.< Usually when it does, it either revives within about half an hour, or else it’s something I can poke around and fix. This time, it was neither. Boo. So it took a few weeks for… Read more: Making Peace With A Speed Of Zero
- Mint Grows Even In The Dark Is Out Today!It’s release day! I’m over the moon to announce that Mint Grows Even In The Dark is officially out in the world. Claire’s story is one of bravery, belief, and doing what needs to be done—and I hope it resonates with you as much as it does with me. Blurb: Claire knows where to find… Read more: Mint Grows Even In The Dark Is Out Today!
- Why Positive Affirmations Sound Really Stupid To You“Overheard” this conversation on a Discord server I’m part of (whee, look at me learning new technology and finding communities without social media!*) this evening where the conversational participants were like eh, positive affirmations always sound so stupid to me, and I’m like OH HEY HI I CAN HELP WITH THIS I KNOW WHY. *… Read more: Why Positive Affirmations Sound Really Stupid To You
- All The Ideas But Not At The ComputerI’m going through a period of time wherein I have a constant drip of ideas for blogs ONLY when I’m not in a position to actually write them. Is this a sneaky form of perfectionism, with my critical voice conveniently erasing the idea harddrive whenever it suspects I might (outrageously) actually write something? Possibly, hmm,… Read more: All The Ideas But Not At The Computer
