The idea for The Thorne Witch novels stems from my desire to create entertaining fiction that provides an immersive escape for readers. Somewhere to hang out until the madness around us subsides. Magic and the supernatural against a contemporary backdrop is the perfect canvas for me. It's what I like to read and what I enjoy writing. I hope you find an escape within the pages of these stories.

About The Thorne Witch Novels:

Every few generations, a witch is born without magic. It’s impossible to discern whether the defect is a result of the infant binding ceremony or an unlucky fluke of nature. Regardless, the results are the same . . . and devastating.

Adeline Thorne was such a witch. But everything changed the night a warlock risked her life—and a peace accord—to save his magic.

Witches and warlocks in the Pacific Northwest have been at peace for more than seventy years. The hard-won accord and the remedies it prescribes have kept the two magical factions in check.

Until now.

The warlock’s assault on Adeline created a hairline crack in the accord’s enamel, threatening the underlying truce. The only thing the witches and warlocks agree on is that a witch should never wield warlock magic. It’s too unpredictable. Too unstable. Too powerful.
