I would love to! To see if I have any events planned, click here. If you’re a librarian/bookstore/conference/etc looking to see if I can visit, check out my contact page and send an email!!

I would absolutely love to talk with you all! If you’re interested in any interviews, don’t hesitate to reach out!

I can’t tell you just yet… but I will update this page as soon as I can.

I have been describing the book as a crossover between upper-YA and adult. It’s being published by an adult publisher in the US, however when I originally wrote it, I intended it to be for a YA audience (and I have kept that audience in mind through edits). Most of the main characters are between the ages of 18 and 23, and the book includes coming of age themes.
If you are a YA reader or a parents of a YA reader and concerned about whether or not it’s appropriate, definitely check out the content warnings, and if you have any further questions, reach out to me!

The Princess Knight was sold as a standalone, but I did leave some openings to potentially return to the world of Inismian if that stars align. That said, Clía and Ronan’s journey is complete by the end of The Princess Knight.

As The Princess Knight is loosely inspired by Irish folklore, many of the character and place names are rooted in the Irish language. For those unfamiliar with Irish, I’ve actually created a pronunciation guide here. There are multiple different Irish dialects, which means for many words, there can be a couple different correct pronunciations. I’ve chosen only one per word in the official guide, however, if you prefer a different dialect’s pronunciation, use that!

The Princess Knight is available internationally in English (Harper Voyager) and Spanish (Penguin), as well as French. There are additional translations on the way, and I will update this page with more information as soon as I can.

Yes! LitJoy currently has a beautiful special edition for sale, and they’re also are selling gorgeous The Princess Knight mini-books and page overlays.
The Locked Library also had an edition, but as of right now, it is currently sold out.

The Princess Knight is dual-POV, and both POV characters are disabled, based off of my own experiences. Ronan has chronic pain and Clíodhna is autistic (note: the word “autistic” is never said on page, so whether you view it as autism rep or autistic coding is up to you). In addition to that, The Princess Knight takes place in a queernormative world, featuring characters of all different sexualities and gender identities (including bisexual, demisexual, and nonbinary characters). I like to joke that every character is queer until proven straight.

The Princess Knight is not a historical fantasy. It takes place in an entirely fictional world, however this world is inspired by Ireland, and much of the world building pulls from Irish folklore and history. It is not meant to be factually accurate, however I did try to make sure I handled everything with care.

Yes! I have both the playlist I listened to while writing and editing The Princess Knight, as well as a playlist featuring songs that remind me of the book. My Spotify also has playlists for individual characters, as well as my WIPs.
