Blanc LaBelle and the Troll’s Daughter

I wanted to write a short blurb for the back of the cover for Blanc LaBelle and the Troll’s Daughter. The cover is still being worked on, but I can’t wait to share this world with you all!

Mira stands between two worlds: a half-troll who never knew her human father. She wouldn’t blend in with humans and the other trolls in her clan consider her mother a traitor for loving her. When her mother passes away, Mira breaks free of the Under into the Above, navigating the human world in search of a new home.

Matt hadn’t expected a magical world hiding beneath Hedgefield, but a request from a stranger showed him the truth. When Mira pleads for his help in the grocery store, he is thrust into a world where the creatures of bedtime stories run free. The Above will be dangerous for Mira and Matt blindly follows her into a world he barely understands.

Between these worlds stands Blanc LaBelle, a magical detective specializing in those of the Under coming to the surface. Among the Under and the Above, his name is spoken with equal reverence and fear. Whether it’s rescuing someone taken captive by humans or eliminating a rogue monster, LaBelle keeps peace between the two worlds.

LaBelle takes the case to find Mira’s father, but what he learns along the way could reshape the Under and take the Above with it.

The Black Hound

I missed a spooky Halloween story last month and for some reason this one called to me. It’s not only about a folk story gone awry, but in a lot of ways feels like naming waves of anxiety that I get from time to time: that constant fear of the next shoe dropping. I didn’t realize until I was halfway through editing that it really felt familiar.

Anyways, enjoy The Black Hound

The End of A Story

After nearly a year, The Blacksmith is finally complete! Those of you keeping up may have noticed that the last post was the epilogue and I really enjoyed this weekly post project! With that being said, I’m gonna slow down a little bit as we start to roll into the holidays. We’ll be going back to monthly posts for right now, but this was a fun experience to just line them up and let them roll out.

If you haven’t read through the whole saga of The Blacksmith, there’s a complete version of the story! I hope you enjoyed this larger project! I’d like to do more of it in the future as weekly posts. If you enjoyed it, let me know what you think!
