The Alchemist's Ghost Series:
This story is a gaslamp fantasy romance set in a world where ghosts have begun appearing and nobody knows why—not even the ghosts themselves.
Lia can’t remember anything before three years ago, none of the ghosts can. She doesn’t even know her real name. Her only connection to the ordinary humans is through her inexplicable attraction to Nik, a professor at the local university and head of their research into the ghost phenomenon.
Desperate to be with Nik, Lia teams up with an unsavory gang leader trying to find a way to become solid. She juggles her search for a “cure” with trying to care for ghostly orphans and working for the mysterious “Movement”, an organization that is trying to upend the ghosts’ way of life and establish a functioning society.
Book 1: The Alchemist's Ghost (Publishing June 2026)
Book 2: The Alchemist's Ledger (2nd draft done, queued for more editing)
Book 3: The Alchemist's Apprentice (First Draft 10%)
The Chronicle of the Seekers (With Makayla Nielson):
Book 2: The Proving of Levi Perez (queued for final edits, Publishing Fall 2026)
This book is from the point of view of Levi, who is a character in book 1. Any more information would give major spoilers for book 1, so for now I'll leave it at that.
Book 3: The Deliverance of Vivienne White (5%)
This book will be Frederick (Clara's cousin's) love story, told from a new character's point of view and will have Clara and others from the series as side characters.
Book 4: The Settlement of Laaikka (0.1%)
This book is in the idea stage.
Midnight Sub Series (With Makayla Nielson)
This series started as a joke between Makayla and me, and evolved into a multi-book Middle Grade humorous mystery with speculative elements (read: things that can't possibly be real but are treated as plausible within the books). We wanted it to be like the A to Z mysteries books, but with Phineas and Ferb vibes. Each book revolves around a different meaning of the word "Sub".
Book 1: The Sensational Sandwich (100% done, querying)
When the already questionable school lunches slide even further downhill, a group of kids decide to check out the new, quirky sandwich shop in town, where something is definitely fishy. When none of the adults believe them, it is up to them to stop the nefarious sandwich shop and save the town—and their school lunches—from disaster.
Book 2: The Suspicious Substitute (0.1%)
This book is in the planning stage.
