It’s finally here! My debut novel, Those She Banished, has been a five-year labor of love that started during the mind numbing isolation of the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown. 

I want to thank the debut cover artist, Margaret Newbre, for all her work in bringing my vision to life. The front cover features the dark and cursed forest of Benvied, while the back depicts the serene yet mysterious Albirn Lake. Both are locations found within the pages of this epic fantasy. Releasing May 1st of 2026, pre-orders will be available soon! 

Bennett Kelren, a pragmatic linguistics student, is catapulted from her ordinary life into the magical world of Nassaeren during a rare lunar event. Separated from her brother, Danny, she is discovered by Keiran, who is torn between his duty to a magic-hating king and his undeniable connection to her. As Bennett discovers her own latent magic and a forgotten heritage, she must navigate deadly court politics, escape assassins sent by a shadowy Emissary, and master her powers to rescue her captured brother and stop a dark sorceress from returning to power.
