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.

- 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
- Flail, Basically.So almost every part of me was shocked this morning when the psychologist’s response to ‘I’m functioning right at my capacity now due to these specific life rolls but the pinch point is just the next two months so I just need to put my Big Girl Panties on and survive for 8 weeks’ was… Read more: Flail, Basically.
- Is Tolkien Making Me Rethink My Primary Story Universe?I think I’ve mentioned here briefly before that I finally have a name for my cohesive, overarching storyverse, to which perhaps 75% of my stories, both published and planned, belong. It’s The Veiled Worlds, a reference to the fact that the fey live in The Realms, a world veiled from ours, and ours veiled from… Read more: Is Tolkien Making Me Rethink My Primary Story Universe?
- Well If That’s Not Self-Sabotage, I Don’t Know What IsI literally spent all morning (well, a couple of hours, anyway) Doing Other Things. I read for a while (finished The Two Towers, on to The Return Of The King). I looked up a bunch of LOTR-related terms, characters, trivia (‘kine’ is cows, y’all!). I read some of the appendices for lols and funsies. I… Read more: Well If That’s Not Self-Sabotage, I Don’t Know What Is
