For my birthday, I got a book deal! TO WONDER AND STARSHINE publishes this July! That was the uncanny timing of my latest book deal news. I’m delighted to return to Trepidatio Publishing, an imprint of JournalStone, who published THE SHADOW GALAXY cross-genre collection in 2023 (under my Dotson pen name). I am so grateful to editor Scarlett R. Algee for believing in my work! It’s a delight to work with Scarlett again. This book will be in great hands.

What Is TO WONDER AND STARSHINE About?

This is a short story collection. It is a quite as the title suggests: full of wonder, with fantasy and science fiction well represented. There are fairies, talking animals, witches in the woods, space romps, robots, and more! I’m very pleased that this book will be in the world, and much sooner than I would’ve anticipated.

When Does TO WONDER AND STARSHINE Publish?

I’m thrilled to announce that TO WONDER AND STARSHINE will publish this year! Publication date is July 25.

I will update everyone with a cover reveal and preorders as soon as they go live.

Thank you again to Scarlett, to Christopher Payne of JournalStone, and to all of you who encouraged me to get this collection out into the world!

I write fantasy, horror, and science fiction books and short stories. Find more of my work on my books page.
