We’re drawing ever closer to release day for Blackfeather Mystery School: The Magpie Training and a couple great new pieces on the book, school, and all things Glasse Witch Cottage hit the internet over the last few days. Deep gratitude to Ron Padrón of White Rose Witching for a wonderful review. Excited about the book?…
The return of spring is so joyous here in Western Maryland. It seems like the dawn chorus of birds gets a little louder every day as the warm sunlight convinces more spring flowers to open. With grateful hearts, we welcome back the growing season. We begin dusting off our hiking shoes and gardening gloves; we…
