Start Here: A Place by the Hearth

Some stories are written to reflect the darkness of the world. Others are written to survive it. The Sanctuary Witch stories live somewhere in between. They’re small, warm, a little strange—full of magic, mischief, and the quiet work of holding boundaries and making space for people to exist safely, even when the world outside feels anything but.

Come in, pull up a chair, and share the warmth of the hearthlight for as long as you want.

The Best Place to Begin

The Sanctuary Witch stories started with a single tale:

Brownie Removal Service—a story about a witch, a cat, a cozy cauldron mug, and the kind of problems that don’t always leave when politely asked.

It’s where everything begins.

And the easiest way to step into that world is to join my Hearthside Friends.

When you do, I’ll send the story straight to your inbox, along with more tales, quiet notes from the writing desk, and a growing collection of small refuges to return to when you need them.

What You'll Find

As one of my Hearthside Friends, you’ll receive:

  • Stories of cozy magic and quiet resistance
  • New Sanctuary Witch tales as they’re written
  • Glimpses of works in progress
  • Occasional recommendations for other stories worth wandering into
  • And small notes from me, shared from the writing desk

No noise. No rush. Just stories, warmth, and refuge.

Prefer to Start with Just the Story?

If you’d rather begin outside the newsletter, you can also find Brownie Removal Service available on its own.

Looking for Something Different?

Note for Returning Readers: If you’ve been here a while—through darker worlds and earlier stories—this space is part of that same journey. Just… a little warmer, perhaps.

Come Sit a While

Whether you stay for one story or many, I'm glad you found your way here.
