A Shelf of Stories
And how I try to hand a little magic back into it. Every one I write comes from years of gathering folklore, noticing small things & believing that stories still have real work to do in ordinary lives.
This is where they'll live, from the first to whatever comes next.

Enchantment was never hiding somewhere else. It's tucked into the frost on a windowpane, the folklore behind an ordinary garden bird, the old word for a feeling you've had but never had a name for.
Small Enchantments is a year-long journey through small doors into the folklore, curious words & everyday wonders that surround us, one for every day of the year, though this book follows no calendar but your own. Start it whenever you like, whatever the date happens to be, and simply let that be your Day One.
Inside, half-forgotten customs, strange and lovely old words & gentle invitations to notice, wonder & make a little more magic out of an ordinary day wait to be found.
A book to dip into slowly, again and again, whenever you need reminding that the extraordinary was never as far away as it seemed.
Available on kindle, paperback & hardback.
Somewhere in the heart of an ancient woodland, if you follow the path that smells of butter and wildflowers and find the gap in the hawthorn hedge, you'll discover Mossvale. A world where fairies keep journals, foxes know the paths that move, and an old oak holds more than just memory in its roots.
Through the Hedge is a collection of enchanted folk tales, intimate character stories and personal reflections on finding magic in the everyday. A book about belonging, grief, courage, love & the small extraordinary moments that make up a life well lived.
The hedge is right there. All you have to do is step through.

Every book on this shelf started as a scribbled idea somewhere in a very unglamorous moment of ordinary life, and turning it into something you could actually hold in your hands has been one of the greatest joys of my life so far.
If you've read Through the Hedge, or spent a year dipping in and out of Small Enchantments, or you're only just discovering me here for the first time, thank you for stepping into this world with me. This dream has grown slowly, book by book, and having people willing to come along for it means more than I can ever put into words.

More stories are coming. And if you'd like even more in the meantime, The Snug is a monthly audio home for unpublished Mossvale tales, folklore, meditations and musings.
Three rooms to wander into, each one holding something a little different, with new pieces added every month, waiting whenever you want to listen.
