It's been said that "reading is just staring at dead, tattooed trees, and hallucinating."
While I love that anecdote, you'll notice from my novels that sensory language is incredibly important to me. This is why I looked for every possible opportunity to make it an immersive EXPERIENCES, from eating along with the characters, to being filled with the scent of juniper and fresh snow as if you're right there with my main characters, breathing in a cloud of Amaris's silvery hair while you read.
I'm collaborating with APOTHECARY 19
-- small batch, hand-poured candles and woman-owned business --
to bring you the scents of nox & amaris

This is the playlist I created and played on a loop while writing the four-book series for
The Night & Its Moon!
It's a combination of electro-medieval, neo-folk, ballads, sea shanties, and nordic lore!
I hope you like it, and that it helps to enhance your reading experience
This is the playlist I created for the villain prequels (now in the works)
it's empowering music for the villain or monarch in all of us, primarily folk-rock, pop-rock, eerie instrumental, and neo-folk
I hope you enjoy it, and that it helps to enhance your reading experience!
