Kirkus Starred Review, Firstborn: "A fantasy that reads like a lost history tome and deftly examines issues of gender...An engrossing story with welcome depths."

SECONDBORN is Born!







I’m so pleased to share that Secondborn is available after Firstborn’s 
original publication in 2014! What a long journey, although it’s not 
surprising. I first began work on Firstborn in 2004. So, it appears 
it takes me about ten years to nest and grow fantasy. However, 
if all goes as planned, Thirdborn will follow this year. No decade wait! 
It will be lovely to complete Tia’s story at last.

Secondborn and Thirdborn will both be published under 
Silver Finch Press.

As I continue to publish traditionally, I’m also moving forward in 
the current climate of the industry to make my works that I love available. 
In the near future, I hope to have many more board books for first readers 
as well. I find I’m excited and energized and truly love creating and delivering 
my work, from first drafts to final design. It’s wonderful that this is possible 
with today’s technology. Huzzah!

So, please take a look, leave a review, and share the word. 
Secondborn has taken flight!
