‘Tis the season for gratitude, and despite the chaotic year I’ve had, as the holidays draw near, I find myself thankful for new beginnings.

It wouldn’t be right not to mention my amazing editor Alice Sudlow as part of this next chapter. Alice was one of the main driving forces behind the success of the Headspace series, and now she is helping me forge new territory as well. 

Alice’s latest podcast gives a peek into the work being done on my current work-in-progress, a fun and funny cozy fantasy comedy titled Love, Death, and Everything Else I’m Bad at.

Cozy fantasy is a relatively new trend. It breaks tradition from the more common high fantasy and fantasy adventures and portrays a comforting, slice of life ambiance in a magical setting (you might be familiar with the popular book Legends and Lattes). After the drama and intense action of Headspace, I longed for a story with a laugh, a happy ending, and a touch of easy romance. And so, as the holiday season dawns, I am excited to dive into this story and hope it finds its way into the world next year.
