Magic and Goldfire (2022) is an epic young adult fantasy adventure inspired by ancient mythology, medieval legends, and modern stories like Lord of the Rings and Throne of Glass.

The 400+ page novel is the first installment in the Middenvale Saga. Book 2, Omens and Widows was released in 2023 and Book 3 is currently in production, along with companion short stories.

I planned, drafted, wrote, and edited Magic and Goldfire over a period of three years. The book was then formatted using Atticus software and the cover was illustrated by Delia Gunderson. After a few rounds of edits based on feedback from beta readers, the book was released through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other retailers.
