The cover of THE DAUGHTER WHO REMAINS, the finale book in the SHE WHO KNOWS trilogy,

Dedicated to fellow witches

"Let me speak. Do not interrupt me. I have no time to listen to you." —Firdaus in the novella "Woman at Point Zero" by Nawal El Saadawi

Today, I’m working on the final edits for THE DAUGHTER WHO REMAINS, the 3rd and last book in the SHE WHO KNOWS novella trilogy. It’s due out in 2026.

I wrote the first one while I was 2/3rds through writing DEATH OF THE AUTHOR. I needed to write this series; proud to complete it. 💪🏾😌
