So thrilled to share the cover for my debut novel, MAGGIE AND ARTHUR'S MAGIC MOMENT! When two grumpy professors at a magical college are forced into tight quarters, they'll have to defeat a dangerous spell that has overtaken their academic building—if they can handle the shared office hours first. ✨

When linguist Maggie's academic building is infested with ghostly magic, she has to share her office with the famous (& famously broody) alchemist Arthur. To get her office back, she offers to help him get rid of the magic, all while trying to find the masked stranger she kissed on Beltane 🤿👻

one day, when you've had a chance to meet Arthur, I'll repost this and you'll see just how perfect this one is

"With my arms stretched toward infinity, it feels for a moment like worship. Like a collection of sacred seconds consecrated to say thank you for friends & family & hope, that elusive emotion I didn’t realize was such a rare commodity of the heart until I had none."

AITA? I (M, 35) kissed a masked stranger at a Beltane festival. It turns out it was my hot, grumpy coworker (F, 33). Now we have to share her tiny office at work because of a mistake in my alchemy lab. AITA if I don't tell her we kissed? #unhingedpit #aita #ag

It was instinct that made her reach out a hand and grab his arm, already shielding her from whatever was in the alley. It must have been instinct, too, that made him step in front of her. It happened so quickly, their movement toward each other as easy as breathing.
