Something different this way comes.
​
Since Leyward Stones is a complex, expansive story world, I've decided to invite readers to experience the world alongside me in multiple ways as it expands and grows:
​
Jump in on the completed three-part serial of Season 1 (Macchiatos, Faerie Princes, and Other Things That Happen at Midnight), or the ongoing Season 2 (Fate Rising), through Kindle Vella...
Purchase the e-books or paperbacks of the series...
Or plunge right in to the full Leyward Stones fantasy world inside PirateCat! There you'll find all the ongoing books and other content I'm creating in the Leyward Stones world, exclusive short stories, behind the scenes content, and more. There's even a full "Worldpedia" with loads of deep worldbuilding content about this series to explore! (Plus PirateCat includes all my other clean YA books and stories too!)
You can also read about the world and get updates in the Leyward Stones category on my blog. My blog also has links to some of the short stories set in Leyward Stones that have been published in sci-fi and fantasy magazines!

STEP
THE
Across
Veil
When Lena befriends the mysterious new boy next door, she discovers a terrifying folklore creature is targeting her father. To save him, Lena must dive into a dangerous world of Fae, magic, secrets, & a war she never knew existed.
What she learns could change her life--and the LeyGuard--forever.
Fate Rising, the next installment in the Leyward Stones story world, is now actively posting twice-weekly episodes on Kindle Vella and inside my PirateCat reading portal!
​
I have a lot of exciting things planned for this storyline. It's going to be a wild ride!
​
Fate Rising can be read independently of Season 1/ Trilogy 1, but those who have read both will definitely notice some fun cameos and crossovers between the two storylines.
​
New episodes will post every Tuesday and Saturday until the serial is completed!
​
(The first 3 episodes are always free to read on Kindle Vella!)
