Happy festive season witches! Being in the Southern Hemisphere, we are coming into summer at this time of year, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate, and I have surprise for you. My friend Nova Blake and I have been working on this series set in New Zealand, drawing on mythology and magic. It's coming soon on December 13th.

Here's the blurb:

When Alyssa inherits her late grandmother’s house in the quiet town of Kotahi Bay, she hopes for a fresh start. But as she settles into her new home, Alyssa quickly learns that her family legacy is more than just property—it's a powerful magic and a centuries-old ghost desperate to break free.

The townspeople expect her to step into the role of their local witch, but haunting memories of a night filled with fire and loss make that impossible.

Torn between a restless spirit and mounting pressure from the town, Alyssa faces an impossible choice: embrace the power she’s been given or flee back to the safety of her old life. To protect her new home and honour her grandmother's memory, Alyssa must confront her fears, unlock her hidden powers, and uncover a web of long-buried secrets.

A tale of healing, self-discovery, family, and the magic that binds us to the places and people we’re meant to protect.
