Come to the Nightshade launch, Toronto, April 8th. “Zelda’s desires lure her away from the safety of her family and into the sinister orbit of her bosses, who want something from her that she cannot give. Nightshade is as dreamy as it is unnerving.” – Jadine Ngan, Literary Review of Canada

Thrilled to be part of this festival! From Little Wren Bookstore: "Very happy to share our beautiful lineup of poets, novelists, short story writers, playwrights, and more!" Little Lit Fest is a one-day Little Wren Books literary festival, March 14, at the Grand Theatre, London, Ontario.

Thanks for this post from my publishers at Assembly Press. I'm thrilled to be in excellent company in the 49th Shelf list of most anticipated books for the spring of 2026.

I'm delighted to be on Quill and Quire's spring preview of books they're most excited about!

Bone broth cooling in the snow while I read Han Kang's deliriously beautiful haunting terrifying novel We Do Not Part.

From Terri Favro: ".. a novella and very long novel that were two of my top reads in 2025... female focused, full of rage, magic and weirdly mystical flowers. "Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens” by Lynn Hutchinson Lee, published by @stelliformpress Sensuous, poetic, violent and mysterious."

Oksana Marafioti on Nightshade, my forthcoming novel from Assembly Press: "Zelda’s desire to be seen—by wealth, by power—meets the fierce love and warning of Romany women who know the cost. This is a novel about work and hunger, inheritance and passing, and the thin veil between rescue and trap."

A stellar review of @undertow.bsky.social's Northern Nights. So many wonderfully terrifying stories. I was thrilled to be part of it. www.goodriverreview.com/post/the-lan...
