So excited to say that New England Fairies is coming out on Audiobook on October 7, 2025, read by the amazing Joe Jameson (a fellow Brit and an actor who trained at Bristol Old Vic)! There will also be an audio CD on September 7. Can’t wait to hear Joe’s narration!

I’m so happy to say that “New York Fairies: A History of the Little People of the Empire State” releases today! I had so much fun gathering these stories from Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Hudson Valley, the Mohawk Valley, the Adirondacks, and the Finger Lakes.

This is a ravine south of Syracuse, NY, which features in my book “New York Fairies,” out July 8. According to legend, the slopes (seen here through the trees) were worn smooth by the Haudenosaunee Little People who liked to slide down them. #folklore #newyork #littlepeople #fairies

This picture of a Wabanaki mikumwess (wood dwarf / one of the Little People) is my favorite picture from my book. The image was carved by Wabanaki artist Tomah Joseph and is now in a private collection.

This is another one of those books I always meant to read but never got around to: published as a serial story (“penny dreadful”) 50 years before Dracula. So far it’s very entertaining.
