Storm Publishing signs
The Baker's Daughter

Coming January 2024

I could not be happier to annouce that I have signed with Storm for The Baker’s Daughter and an upcoming second novel. The story of The Baker’s Daughter is close to my heart. Loosely based on my own family history, the research and writing of this novel has been a deeply personal journey. The enthusiasm and genuine excitement Kate showed for my manuscript from our first chat showed me that she was the perfect set of hands to help me prepare this story to share with the world. I cannot wait to enjoy every experience on this new adventure and I am proud to be a part of such a vibrant and exciting group of authors under the Storm banner.
