Old Hollywood

The Golden Age of Magic...the Story

I’m excited to share the “back of the book” description for the upcoming release of my next novel, THE GOLDEN AGE OF MAGIC. This one comes out June 2025! Cover coming soon!

~

Against the backdrop of 1920s Hollywood, a young fairy godmother on a mission is embroiled in malicious magic, mystery, and murder in a thrilling historical fantasy by the bestselling author of The Vine Witch.

Celeste is about to become one of the thirteen Fées Gardiennes, a centuries-old sisterhood of fairy godmothers. To be granted full status, she must usher her first protégé onto their path of destiny. Where better to find a starry-eyed ward than in the land of magic and illusion called Hollywood?

It’s 1927. The moviemaking business is booming when Celeste befriends a young studio seamstress whose dreams outshine everyone else’s. Rose is talented and underappreciated and could use some enchanted intervention in her life. Plans proceed swimmingly, and Celeste even catches the eye of a handsome producer. But after a series of unexplained accidents on the studio lot stir up rumors of a curse, Celeste fears the trouble is more personal—the spiteful meddling of a fellow Gardienne out to thwart Celeste’s success.

But the sabotage turns sinister when a starlet is murdered and it’s Rose who stands accused. As vengeance, dark magic, and betrayal wreak havoc, Celeste must come into her full power to save her innocent protégé and secure her own future in a cherished, ancient, and now threatened sisterhood.

New Novel Coming in June!

Just wanted to let readers know my newest novel, The Golden Age of Magic, is finally making its way through the production process. This one mixes fairy godmother magic with Old Hollywood, 1927. There’s enchantment, murder, and a little bit of love in this coming of age story.

We have a preorder page up on Amazon already, though it’s still in the preliminary stages. The official blurb and cover should be available soon! When I have them, I’ll of course post them here first.

New Novels Coming!

I don’t think I mentioned it here yet, but I’ve got two new novels in the works. The first, tentatively titled THE GOLDEN AGE OF MAGIC, which I’m working on now, is due for release in 2025 from 47North. Its follow-up will probably be out the following year. The first book takes place in Hollywood, 1926. I’ve been having a lot of fun researching for this one by going through vintage photos of silent movie stars and the fabulous costumes they wore. I mean, how do you top this old-school glamour?

The fabulous Gloria Swanson.

Meanwhile, THE WOLF’S EYE will be out May 14th, so keep an eye out for its release! Pre-orders are always welcome! And much thanks to those of you who’ve read and reviewed THE WITCH’S LENS!! Much appreciated.
