A Loose Thread
A novel that blends contemporary fantasy with mystery.
In short: The three sisters have spun millions of human fates, but they can’t know their own, which becomes a huge problem when they find themselves in mortal danger.
Inspiration for the project: The fates from various mythologies are, without question, my favorite mythological beings. I craved to read a novel where the fates were the heart of the story, not just a trio of intriguing characters, there to help the main character along. So I decided to explore the stories of these beings, imagining what it would be like to weave everyone’s destinies but not know your own.

Ravenous
A thriller that toes the line between genre and literary fiction.
In short: When a heroine is kidnapped by a very incompetent criminal a.k.a. her old friend, she is forced to face the twisted truths of her past to figure out how to survive.
Inspiration for the project: I wondered what would happen if a narcissistic main character faced an inept kidnapper. When the victim is calculating to a fault while the perpetrator is suggestible and impulsive, who really has the upper hand? This project explores some heavy themes, drawing from my own experiences.
Status: fourth draft.
A Precious Curse
The only things Maeve Hargrave expects to struggle with at Thornsberry College are challenging facets of magic and complex spells. Instead, everything she thought she knew about her powers and her family unravels in a matter of days. A warning from the brilliant but evasive Killian Blackwood pushes her to untangle a web of secrets and lies that takes her to the heart of magical society. Maeve discovers a dangerous hidden power, and the more she learns, the less she understands.
With the help of a talented plant witch, a.k.a. her best friend, Maeve has to find out who she really is while dealing with her first year at a magic university, budding feelings unlike anything she’d felt before, and an overeager suitor.
Bursting with autumn vibes, magic, and deadly secrets, this is the perfect cosy gothic fantasy for the season.
