What I’m working on.

From initial ideation to fully written and ready for reading, here are the stories finding their way onto the page.

My Dearest Cecilia

Cecilia has spent the past five years of her life hiding in London after a horrible falling out with her best friend Rosamund. While Cecilia struggles to pull herself out of the past, Rosamund appears to have moved on: she has a husband, a son, and has moved to a silver mining town in Colorado, where she helps run the town hotel alongside her husband’s eccentric family.

But when Cecilia arrives in town after receiving a letter from Rosamund begging for them to finally resolve their differences, she learns that there is no way Rosamund could have sent that letter because Rosamund has been dead for two years. So who asked Cecilia to come home to Colorado? And why?

The Gates of Horn

When the gods grow bored, humans die.

Sisenna Regillensus knows this firsthand: why else would her brother Trebius have died from such a small cut? Yet when her father, the Emperor of Luca, is assassinated on the very night there is attempt on her own life, she is tossed out of her imperial seat and begins across the continent on a race to warn her brother Callistus, heir to the Lucan throne, about their uncle’s treachery. About their sister’s treachery.

Ravilla Regillensus has hated her father ever since he sent the man she loved off to die in a war solely because he wasn’t of her station. When her aunt comes to her with a deal—marry her cruel cousin Asellio and be guaranteed to ascend to Empress one day—she agrees to comply in her father’s assassination. It’s only after that she learns what a precarious position she is in. But she’s determined to come out on top, no matter who she has to step on to get there.

In a story where The Aeneid meets Game of Thrones, the gods strike a deal: pick a champion and in five years, if that champion sits on the Lucan throne, you win. And thus begins the chaos.
