Superheroes and Bakeries was released a week ago on December 19th, and it is off to a great start! I hope you’ve gotten your copy.
The book is urban fantasy with a touch of sweet romance and cozy feels. It is set in Victory Harbour, B.C. Canada. (NOTE: In Canada, we like the ‘ou’ instead of just an ‘o’ in some words.) Victory Harbour is not a real place, but is inspired by Victoria on Vancouver Island. I’ve had many opportunities to visit Victoria as I have family there, and the city is lovely.
So, to answer the burning question: will there be more? The best answer is, Yes! On the cover, it says, Book 1: Animal Magic Series. This is a big clue that more will be coming in the series. I mean, we have to find out what happens to Nico. Will his curse be lifted? And what about Snow? I’m a little curious about how she started the Supernatural Response Team. And will the Evil Queen create more havoc?
Will Keira and Chase’s story continue? Yes. I’ve set up this series as episodic. Some story ideas will have different main characters, but Keira and Chase will be a part of those stories. (Just between you and me, there may be a story or two more percolating for this couple.)
Honestly, having a very mild tie to beloved fairy tales presents endless ideas and spin-off opportunities. For now, my hope is for 2-3 more books in the coming year. The exact release dates are unknown at this time. The earliest may be August, but you can definitely expect something by the fall of 2026.
Are you working on other projects? Yes! I hope to finish the audiobook versions for The English Teacher’s Magic series. The first book, Realm of Magic and Terror, was released on December 4th and is doing great.
In the new year, Marcy and I are planning another children’s book (or two). Our first book, Luca Becomes a Therapy Dog, has been a huge hit locally. Luca is a real therapy dog who visits patients in hospitals and works with reading programs. He’s also been part of programs that help people who are displaced by fire or flooding. Marcy, Luca’s mom, and Luca are an amazing team. Our hope is to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sales to two different charities. One is our local humane society, where Luca helps with the reading program, and I foster. The second is the Volunteer Guild at the hospital where Luca regularly visits.
Phew, that feels like a lot, but it’s all a pleasure. And just thinking of it all brings joy! Wishing you warmth and peace this holiday season and all the best in 2026.
