Standalone Novels

Emilia Stark never thought she'd become a celebrity by editing books, but she also never thought she'd be using magic to do it. Her clients' success, coupled with her own mysterious nature, have brought her nationwide attention as well as a waiting list that has some hopeful authors waiting years. Despite her fame, her methods are kept safe by the curious fact that every writer who has tried to expose her secret to the world has found themselves suddenly unable to speak.

Outside her work, Emilia's biggest challenge is putting herself through school, where she gets into frequent arguments with the fictional characters in her reading assignments. She also struggles to manage her relationship with her opinionated former tutor, a man named Alexander Fox whose constant experimenting with magic trapped him forever inside a college-ruled notebook.

Emilia's fame has brought her adversaries, most of whom are determined to figure out her secret at all costs, and most of whom she completely ignores. But when other people with magical abilities start disappearing around the world and threatening notes start appearing on her doorstep, Emilia begins to worry — especially once she realizes she is the final target.

A year and a half after escaping her abusive ex, Tabitha is just trying to move on. She has a steady job at a bar in the city, shares a cramped apartment with a slightly aloof orthodontist, and has even occasionally considered making friends with her coworkers. Still, she can’t shake the effects of her experiences so easily, and she struggles with constant nightmares, flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts that seem to have no relevance to her life whatsoever.

Shortly after falling asleep in a strange house after a bad night at work, she begins to discover she isn’t having intrusive thoughts at all — she’s seeing other people’s memories.

Drawn inexplicably to an abandoned house that almost seems to have been made for her, she dreams of memories of people across the world and through time, and feels a peace and safety within its walls she hasn’t felt anywhere in years. As she dreams, these memories come to life, filling the house with the strangest companions Tabitha has ever had.

But when an all-too familiar nightmare manages to pierce even the mysterious house’s walls, she realizes she’s going to have to stop running and stand her ground once and for all.
