There’s a lot to talk about, first of which is: I’m publishing another book in June!
Arikala Academy: A Wave of Courage is the first book in a new middle-grade fantasy series. Here’s the synopsis:
Courage is the most powerful magic of all.
At eleven years old, Cassidy Farron knows two things for certain: that her time at Arikala Academy, the magical school for gifted youngsters, will be the best ever; and that everyone in her family has ALWAYS been placed in House Sword.
But after a disastrous first day ends in orientation being attacked and she’s sorted into House Shield, Cassidy finds that she has to reevaluate her expectations. After all, why would somebody want to attack such a wonderful place?
Determined to prove her worth and get to the bottom of things, Cassidy will team up with an orphaned spellcaster and a tech genius to uncover the mysteries surrounding themselves and the school. But some secrets might be better left alone…
Featuring giant spiders, action-packed adventure, and a herd of corgi-dragons, Arikala Academy: A Wave of Courage is where Witchlings and The Owl House meet Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Cover reveal coming soon! But you can already preorder the book and add it on Goodreads (see the buttons below). ARC signups are coming soon!
