I want to put "Best book hangover ever" as a blurb on the back cover.

It's so gratifying to have people finding peace and satisfaction in these books, and leaving happy.

Sticking the landing is tough.

Reviews keep rolling in for Arson and it's such a relief. Ending a series is terrifying.

That's a sign I stuck the landing.

One of the great fears of releasing the final book in a series is tripping at the finish line. Early reports are that the ending is devastating in the right way.

If the escapism of the novels isn't enough, consider relenting to the siren song of late-stage capitalism and purchase the official Avalon Academy screaming pillow. Express all of your feelings into this plush accessory. Absorbs both sound and tears.

Cracked the Amazon top 40 on release day in "coming of age fantasy!"

Thanks folks. 🖤

Keep it up and we can climb into the top twenty this week. 📚💙

This is incredible. Arson has been out for less than 24 hours and they've finished it and written a review.

That's the kind of loyal reader we dream of.

Two more days!

Oh man. Did not expect that level of feels. I was all like, sure I guess people like unboxing videos. I'll make one for hashtag marketing. Then I opened the damn thing and lost all my words and got kind of molten on the insides.

Eight years, four books, one messy kitchen. 💙📚

One more week till Arson!

Get hyped. We're burning everything down! Fictionally, I mean. It's a fantasy novel not an actual crime spree.

Stealing from Wizards Volume 4: Arson
Available November 4th.

When I started, eight years ago, I couldn't imagine what Stealing from Wizards would become. It was a brain worm I needed to get out on paper. Four books later, the series is wrapping up and I couldn't be prouder of it.

Sure sure, but have you considered Toad Ointment?

It's good for basically everything.

Only two more weeks until Arson!

I am both exuberant and exhausted.
October 21, 2025 at 1:47 PM
And look how good they look together!

Me of six years ago knew that the most important thing to book lovers is a consistent cover set. :P

Proof copy of Arson arrived today!

I can't describe what it's like to have the whole series in print. Such satisfaction, a bit of relief, some nerves and excitement about release day...

It's a lot. 📚💙

If other authors want to weigh in with their pre-publication purgatory stories I'd love to hear them. a bit of camaraderie in this trying time would be lovely.

Incredible. Just incredible.

Good luck to the parent of witches, gays, and thieves.

The greatest joy I get from my books is the letters I get, the young fans being unable to manage their excitement about the next book, the fanfic I refuse to read, and when a teacher paints my words on her wall.

Arson is out in three weeks!

If you're in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, I'll be doing a reading from Arson this coming Saturday at the Witchy Market.

Come say hi, get your book signed, and have a little preview of Arson.

"Write what you know" means the platonic ideal of a writer — a young man alone in a tiny apartment with a typewriter whose only friends are coffee and cigarettes — is a myth. To write well you need to experience life and meet people.

Arson is out Nov 4.
