oh, and i published another book; or: i am terrible at the marketing business

LONG story short, Elfled’s story is out in the world. Considering how much I love her and what I went through to get her here, I truly am not doing her justice. Sorry, Elfled. But I missed the window of making this post part of my all-too-brief book launch, so we’ll have to content ourselves with this what I’m writing at the moment.

THE ACCURSED is the epistolary YA fantasy story of Elfled Gardail, who flees her homeland because of religio-political persecution. To put it bluntly: the magic-wielding fascists are after her and her family, and Elfled, who has no magic, has to cross hostile territory as a refugee if she wants to find safety. The question is first what she’ll have to go through to get there, and second whether she’ll get there at all.

Noteworthy: Michael O’Keefe, who gave excellent, invaluable graphic design tutelage for cover art purposes; Brett Grimes, who gave useful feedback on said cover art; Joshua Unruh, who coached and edited my marketing copy; and my parents, who read the book and told me what worked and what didn’t. Thanks to all of you. Elfled wouldn’t be here without you.

THE ACCURSED is the latest novel in my newly rebranded Light-Walkers Universe Collection. It’s available as a paperback on Amazon and as an ebook wherever you like to get your ebooks! Go buy it. *kiss kiss*

Front cover of a novel. Title and author's name in white font with serifs, all CAPS. Title: The Priestess Murders. Author: Courtney Cantrell. The image depicts a gnarled tree reaching from the bottom left corner up the left side and across the top half of the image. The tree is silhouetted against a star-spangled, dark blue night sky. In the background (lower third of image) are leafy, densely growing trees dimly lit by what might be moonlight (light source not shown). In the center of the image is a honeybee viewed from above. The bee glows a pale gold and is surrounded by a nimbus if pale gold light. The bee also exudes rays of pale gold light reaching up and down and left and right. A gash is torn in the bee's thorax, and red blood trickles from the wound. Novel published October 2025.
