Thorn is One Month Old!

I can’t believe my book baby is one month old!

Thorn is the first novel I’ve ever published (not under a pen name, at least), and so this book feels like such a special bundle of joy. I’m so glad to have finished my first novel and put it out into the world.

Is it perfect? No, but I’m proud of Thorn anyway. It’s a sweet story and I had a lot of fun telling it.

If you’ve read it, leaving a review on Amazon or Goodreads is always appreciated. If you haven’t, you can pick up a copy on Amazon (it’s also available in Kindle Unlimited for now) or add it to your Goodreads TBR so you can remember it for later.

 
 

Here’s the book description:

Prue’s mother locked her away in a private realm to keep her safe from a vicious decades-long war happening on the mainland… at least that’s what she said. What if that was all a lie?

With only her mother’s love to keep her company, Prue passed the years woodworking, gardening, and practicing archery in the privacy of her very own realm. Save for the few times her mother had returned bearing exotic foods and gifts, Prue had never met another person nor seen an animal, and books were her only companions.

Until one day, a hunter and his canine companion found their way into Prue’s realm. All his life Kaleb had traveled through the forest near his village and never came upon a castle. Eager to explore a new place, he convinces a reluctant Prue to allow him entry to her castle.

As the pair get to know each other, secrets are revealed, discrepancies are uncovered, and emotions reach levels the two have never experienced.
