Winning the crown was only the beginning.
Jacs, now the rightful Queen of Frea, seems to be Queen in title alone. She scrambles to learn the customs and traditions of a Realm she had only read about in books. The Council of Four have her firmly under their thumb, and their ideas for the Queendom are oppressive and outdated. Their knowledge of her mother and Master Leschi’s whereabouts is the only leverage they need to make the new Queen dance to their tune.
Jacs is determined to find those who were taken from her and do what’s right for her Queendom. But in her search for answers, Jacs uncovers a much darker truth from the Queendom’s past that will forever change its future.

Pub Day Freefalling
Writing the sequel to a novel that had been in my head for over a decade was both terrifying and electrifying. I wanted to celebrate its release day with a bang so here’s what I did:
Release Book Tour
I went on a four-city book tour to celebrate the paperback release of Queen’s Catacombs, and I am so thankful to all who attended and all who helped pull these events off! These were the stops of my tour:
- Canmore Public Library: Author Fireside Chat
– books supplied by CafeBooks - Banff Public Library: Author event and exclusive pre-release of Queen’s Catacombs as well as a coloring competition.
– books supplied by the Whyte Museum - Invermere High School guest lecture
- SlowBurn Books author event: interview and signing
And here are some posts and pictures from the events!

A huge thank you to Slow Burn Books – the spiciest bookstore in Calgary – for hosting a series giveaway, a signing, and interviewing me for their blog! It always feels like going for a chat with dear friends when I pop in for a visit, so maybe next time I’ll bring the bubbly!
Colouring Page

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Maryann Appel at CamCat Books is an absolute genius.
Do you like colouring?
I’d love to see the colour combinations you come up with for this cover!
