Based in Ontario, Canada, I am eager to share ​The Forgotten Inn, an Adult Cozy Fantasy about ​an elderly witch running a sentient inn! It is ​brimming with silly enchantments, a cast of ​quirky characters, and a heartwarming love story.

I was born and raised in a small French Canadian community by the river. I am a ​2020 graduate with a Bachelor of Honours in English Language and Literature ​from the University of Ottawa. I’ve spent the last few years as a store manager and ​freelance editor. Now, I am seeking out a job in translation!

My love of books started during a lunch break in Middle School when I was ​escaping an overly hot afternoon to reap the air conditioning of my school’s library. ​Absentmindedly perusing the shelves, I was pulled in by the glossy cover of a ​Goosebumps novel.

Who knew killer globs and reanimated skeletons would lead to me writing books ​about sweet elderly witches, cottages, and tea times?

When I’m not writing, you can find me buying out every lemon square at a farmer’s ​market, watching soap opera reruns with my grandma, or attempting to improve ​my questionable painting skills.

The Forgotten Inn

Adult, 81,000 words

After four centuries sequestered in her cottage delivering prophecies to heroes, ​Galandria the Witch is tired of being treated like the evil old crones from fairytales.

Apparently giving a hero the coordinates to the sword that’ll save the world won’t stop them from ​stealing her cakes and trampling her garden on their way out. Her sudden retirement sends her far ​from home and, most importantly, away from entitled heroes. Soon, the unexpected revelation that ​her estranged sister has died sends Galandria on a journey in her footsteps, wanting to piece together ​her sister’s life after they were separated as children.

In her shoes, she becomes the innkeeper to a secret, sentient place that houses those forgotten by the ​world. Navigating a magic kitchen with a knack for retrieving leftovers and rooms that change their ​contents faster than she changes clothes, Galandria meets new and old guests with stories to tell, ​including a handsome but infuriating guest who is determined to stay forgotten for good. As she ​opens herself to them, forming friendships as sweet as they are fleeting, entangling herself in a ​forbidden romance, and unraveling her sister’s past, she begins to wonder if being forgotten by the ​wrong people is such a bad thing.

Maybe it leads to where you belong.
