I always like to mention my novella, Cross and Circle, around the holidays because that’s when it takes place. The story begins at the end of the fall semester and progresses through December and into January. Although there’s not much holiday celebrating that happens on-screen in this novella, it’s still set at the right time of […]

If they’d been interested in urban fantasy, I could have recommended Cross and Circle. In Cross and Circle, Evie is pregnant for a good chunk of the book, then […]

If urban fantasy is your jam, I’ve got several options for you! Cross & Circle is an urban fantasy novella, in which magic is real and becomes a part of Evie and Carlotta’s lives as they prepare for the birth of their son. Scenes from a Quiet Apocalypse is a little more slipstream, but still […]
