If she’s not out mountain biking or hiking with her family, she’s often found hiding in the garden where she accidentally kills more plants than she does characters in her stories.

Tonight, I Bleed
Orbit Books/Hachette ANZ
As the ashes settle over the Resistance’s defeat, Halstett faces Samhain night and the Warden’s nefarious plans for the ball. At midnight, when the veil between Life and Death is at its thinnest, the Warden will destroy magic and the witches who wield it. With her family missing, her friends lost in the temple inferno, and the knife they forged to destroy him in the Warden’s hands, Penny turns to the Sorcerer chained on the mysterious ninth floor of the library.
He offers a deal: a legion to fight the Warden in exchange for her blood.
All it would take is a single drop into the eternal fires to banish the Warden — and set the Sorcerer free. But with the Warden using Penny’s circle of Resistance witch friends as a shield, Penny is forced to choose between the friends she loves and the covens of witches she belongs to.
A single night could spark a war that will tear the world—and Penny’s heart—apart.
Publication is planned for early 2025.
Tonight, I Burn
Orbit Books/Hachette ANZ
Penny Albright—witch, Death Walker, and member of Thorn Coven of the Kingdom of Halstett—will risk her soul to save her sister's life. She will fall in love with a man who deals in lies and a woman who weaves the truth. She will ignite a magical rebellion that will change the world.
Forced to patrol the veil between the realms of Life and Death, one thorn witch—and only one—must cross the veil each night by burning at the stake. Each morning, that witch draws on their magic to return. Failure to follow the rules risks the veil and risks them all.
But one morning, Penny's favorite sister Ella doesn't return. And that night, determined to find her, Penny breaks the rules. She burns in secret. And that is where her story truly begins. Because it's not just her sister's life that hangs in the balance. It's the fate of all magic.
All it takes is one witch—and one spark—to set the world ablaze.
