Last week, a box arrived on my doorstep, and inside it was the first physical copy of The Unmarked, Book One of The Thornhaven Mysteries. I've spent so long living inside this story, inside Tess's world, inside Thornhaven itself, that seeing it as an actual book, something with weight and pages and a cover you can hold, was an incredibly exciting moment!
This book started as an idea sparked by a handful of trips to Tasmania and years of digging through my own family's history, and it has grown into something so much bigger than I ever expected. Getting to this point, from a first messy draft to a finished, printed novel, has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done, and I'm so grateful to everyone who has cheered this project on along the way.
The Unmarked will be available on Amazon very soon, and I can't wait to finally share Tess, Thornhaven, and everything buried beneath it with readers.
I'll post the exact release date the moment it's confirmed, so keep an eye on this page (or better yet, join the newsletter or ARC team) so you're the first to know.
Thank you for being here for the beginning of this journey. There are six more books coming, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead.
