#WitchQueenRising, your next horror fantasy obsession, is just ✨4✨ months out. If you love immersive writing, a world you can sink your teeth into, and an underdog unafraid to bite back you'll love this Southern Gothic dark fantasy debut arriving 4/21/2026. Preorder from: tr.ee/bwYval

From the setting to the food, the worldbuilding in #witchqueenrising was critically important to me. One way I built that up was giving each character a distinct style. I would describe Phine's as somewhere between "dark feminine" and "whimsigoth." How would you?

I'm on a list!

Don't just take my word for it, readers are loving #witchqueenrising. If you like immersive writing, a world you can sink your teeth into, & an underdog unafraid to bite back, you'll love this Southern Gothic dark fantasy debut arriving 4/21/26. Preorder: tr.ee/bwYval

Phine never goes looking for a fight. But she also never tolerates disrespect or being threatened. If someone is foolish enough to test the Tick Witch, she has no problem showing them how she earned that name. #witchqueenrising debuts 4/21/26, preorder or request an arc from 🔗🌲

Phine’s power as a Syphon paired with her acquired ability to sense intentions. She tastes feelings, magic, & even auras. Truth is like rainwater while deception is earthy like black pepper. It gives her the tools to survive the dangers she only occasionally finds herself in. Preorder: tr.ee/bwYval

So what is a Syphon? Phine is able to feed on magic and acquire the specialty of other witchkin. As I child, she got the ability to sense intentions & taste feelings. Fearing her, witchkin dubbed her a parasite and Phine became known as the “Tick Witch.” To preorder or request an ARC: tr.ee/bwYval
