Candy hasn't become super popular in the region the Good Thyme Inn is in yet, but I gotta talk about a region where candy IS big: There's a place on Aloutia where food is magically preserved forever: Monarchia Chocolatia. It's in a tropical area where sugar is grown/processed, so they

Tynan thinks that the moment they agreed to be born, there was no turning back from the mission Lulu set them on. In truth, their grandfather would have been okay with it. He had backup plans.

The real no-turning-back moment was after Megumi and Fumatsu learned of Tynan's identity.

The cover for “The Howling Dark” by Brittany M. Willows, designed and drawn by the author, set against a blurred image and framed by flowers. Text at the top reads “cover reveal” with the book’s release date of November 9th 2026 at the bottom. Cover illustration features the book’s fair-skinned protagonist crouching amidst snow-covered branches, a spear in hand, dressed for winter.

Text at the top reads “cover reveal” with the book’s release date of November 9th 2026 at the bottom. Cover illustration features the book’s fair-skinned protagonist crouching amidst snow-covered branches, a spear in hand, dressed for winter.

Book description text for “The Howling Dark” by Brittany M. Willows set against a drawing of a hand touching flowers (art by demon.vinegar). Text reads: Sylvain is an eclipse-born werewolf who knows neither his bestial form nor the post-nuclear wilds his kind hail from. Raised on the orbital research station Zodiac, he’s grown accustomed to a life of peaceful predictability. Though fantasies of visiting his birthplace may be out of reach due to medical restrictions, he has a loving boyfriend and all of his essential needs are met. What more could he want?

In the opinion of his elder brother, the answer is: everything.

Believing them abducted as children, Illia has always sworn to someday return with his brother to the mountains they were taken from. And when a peculiar turn in Sylvain’s health brings to light an ugly truth, someday becomes now—whether Sylvain is ready for it or not.

Soon enough, the brothers find themselves fugitives on the planet’s surface, pursued by the government and bloodthirsty huntsmen, and under the unexpected guidance of the rebel Sundogs. All that lies between them and home is miles of unfamiliar countryside, toxic wastelands, a parasitic garden of death . . . and the question of how much they’re willing to risk in order to get there.

Dominika nearly gets what she thinks she wants, but learns the price is too high. The drive that's fueled her for years evaporates, and all she has left is a lethal mess aimed squarely at Caoimhe and her new comrades.

It's a bit different than you're imagining 😅

The Fontayne Co is a group of paranormal investigators, and the story is set in a modern-ish fantasy world. The group is led by a necromancer, the MC is a ghost, and there's a dragon inventor who supplies their tech. I had a ton of fun writing it!

Elysia named her swords “Sini” and “Dextra,” which is almost Latin for left and right! The Azurian language is very similar to Latin, but heavily modernised!

I’ve shied away from using this made-up language in later books, but the first one has quite a bit of Azurian!

This has a really personal answer, but I think an important one.

In 2019, my chronic illness that I didn't have a diagnosis for [turns out it was Crohn's, which no doctor had bothered to investigate] almost killed me.
It took me a lot of time to recover from emergency surgery. +
