Perfect for readers who love cozy magical realism, family secrets, small-town mystery, and heartwarming fiction with a supernatural twist. Crocus Kitchen is an enchanting novel about grief, legacy, and the kind of magic that begins at home.
She inherited a house. She uncovered a legacy. And something in the shadows wants it back.
After the death of her beloved aunt, Mikayla Hart returns to the house on Crocus Lane expecting only grief, memories, and the impossible task of moving on. Instead, she finds an old mixing bowl that refuses to stay hidden—and seems to know exactly what she needs before she does.
When the bowl begins producing ingredients for long-forgotten family recipes, Mikayla discovers that her aunt’s kitchen held more than comfort. It held a secret passed down through generations of women: a quiet, powerful magic woven into food, memory, and care.
But Mikayla isn’t the only one who knows something valuable is hidden inside Crocus Kitchen.
As family secrets surface and a dark presence closes in, Mikayla must decide whether to walk away from the life she planned—or claim the strange inheritance waiting for her before it’s lost forever.

Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction
I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
