The book
Brightfeather
Nobody sees the fae and their magic anymore, except for seventeen-year-old Brianna McKinley. Even after years of being crushed beneath her parents' denial, she's haunted by creatures everyone insists aren't really there. Drowning in pills and doctors, Bri escapes to New York City.
A modern Beauty and the Beast with a fae twist. Upper YA fantasy romance with new adult crossover appeal. The Author's Note lists content warnings.

I'm an artist turned author, living with my husband and two gremlins in the wilds of rural Ohio.
Brightfeather is my debut. I put a website up on 30 November 2025, almost a year after the book came out.
