A New World is COMING this fall...I'm so excited to be releasing not one, not two, but THREE new Middle Grade books this fall. And the covers are ready to be announced! Each of these books is technically a standalone, but they are set in the same world. These books have absolutely delighted my own children as well as my child beta readers, and I'm thrilled to share them with the world. STARKEEPER: RELEASING SEPT 2026 Jaq, now thirteen years old, must take his father's place as a nightkeeper: fastening stars to the sky each evening and collecting the bulbs again each dawn. But Jaq doesn't care for the family business. Nightkeeping is unskilled, monotonous labor, and Jaq dreams of becoming a respected poet instead. He envies his friends who have a choice. He is approached by Ukko, the Man in the Moon, who promises to take Jaq's place, but it's a trick. Ukko is jealous of his sister, the Woman in the Sun, and her brighter shine. Ukko plans to steal the sky's stars from the nightkeepers, hoping to add their light to his own. Jaq shatters the stars fleeing Ukko, and now must combine nightkeeping and poetry to forge a new set for the sky, and to save both day and night. THE AUTUMN TURNERS: RELEASING OCT 2026 Seyn and Lilyan Turner are twins who were separated years ago, and now live very different lives. Seyn is an orphan seeking to go unnoticed. Lilyan grows up in a house of nobility, desperate to be seen. Their paths collide in the Four Cities: where seasons are manufactured and spread. Summer is ending, but Autumn isn't starting the way it should. A plot to overthrow all seasons comes to light, and is the reason Seyn and Lilyan haven't met, until now. Can the twins work together to restore their family name and restart the proper flow of the seasons? THE STORY SPINNER: RELEASING NOV 2026
Jeyn lives at Ocean's End, where the seas drain and stories are manufactured. Old enough to see the world and start gathering stories, she is interrupted by a man named Stone, the son of Ukko, the Man in the Moon, who once tried to claim the skies. Angered over his father's loss, Stone has been slaying stories and spreading the Dulls - monotonous boredom that is seeping across the world through magic screens. Jeyn will journey to the bottom of the sea and back, hoping to reignite the world's stories.
