The Bakers of the Floating Mountain
work in progress | YA fantasy
A cozy fantasy born from my love of Howl’s Moving Castle and The Great British Bake-Off. The wrong person ends up in a magical baking competition; chaos (and cornets and crepe cakes and all sorts of other goodies) ensue.

work in progress | YA fantasy
Nightmares are real, and they live in the sea, and it’s the Seakeeper’s job to shepherd them onto land every night. They don’t die — until now.
So: What can make a nightmare bleed?
