June came through like a bullet train — unstoppably fast and fun. The major highlight was the grandkids’ visit: movies, sleepovers with cousins, pool parties, plus an escape room that [tested / humbled / nearly defeated] all of us. [Optional one-liner: a specific detail — which movie caused chaos, who cannonballed hardest, whether the escape room team got out with time to spare.]
But that’s not what I’m here to tell you about.
Big News: Angelica Under Glass Is Coming
Angelica Under Glass — Book 1 of the Green Witch & Thorn Mysteries — is coming along nicely, and we’re on schedule for an August release.
Lena’s first magic competition should have been the highlight of her year — instead, a sponsor turns up dead, her best friend becomes suspect number one, and Lena has to solve a murder before the judges hand down a very different verdict.
Lena Knox has been waiting a long time to tell her own story: plant magic instead of ley lines, a greenhouse instead of a battlefield, and a very opinionated familiar named Thorn who has opinions about all of it.
And Now, the Cover

I’m so excited to finally share it with you. Let me know what you think in the comments!
