Monster Bright
I’ve been gearing up for 2020’s workload. Part of that is creating new covers for the Sunshine Walkingstick short stories. If you’ve been poking around the website, you’ve already seen the cover for Death Omen. The covers for the short stories were, let’s face it, a bit scattered visually, so new covers were definitely needed.…Continue reading Monster Bright

Witch Hollow is here!
Witch Hollow, the fourth novel in the Sunshine Walkingstick Series, is finally here! I’m so excited to bring this story to you, for a wide variety of reasons.

What Sunshine Walkingstick and the Cullowhee Witches Have in Common
Last week, I wrote a blog post discussing the story world shared between the Sunshine Walkingstick Series and the Cullowhee Witches Series, which was written under one of my other pen names, Lucy Varna. You can read the full post at Dreaming If, my blog. It’s an interesting read, if you’re at all a fan…Continue reading What Sunshine Walkingstick and the Cullowhee Witches Have in Common
A New Sunshine Walkingstick Book!
Yes, it’s true. After all the things I said about not writing another Sunshine Walkingstick book, I have to eat my words: I just finished the first draft of Book 4, officially titled Witch Hollow. Part of the impetus behind another Sunny book was readers (that’s you). Without your encouragement, and I got a lot…Continue reading A New Sunshine Walkingstick Book!
