    See the covers! Jungle of Ashes and Jaguars and Other Game

    I’m so excited to share the gorgeous covers for Jungle of Ashes and the rerelease of Jaguars and Other Game. I’m obsessed with them both! The tire on the cover of Jungle of Ashes is the perfect symbol for the story. There are the two primary opposing forces, industry versus nature, masculine versus feminine, and the lily has special significance  for one of the characters. I’ve already got stickers made of the tire and will be giving them out all my events. There are two versions of the new cover for Jaguars and Other Game because I couldn’t decide between the red and green. My publisher finally saved me from decision paralysis by suggesting we use one for the paperback and one for the ebook. Brilliant! Look closely and you’ll find Easter egg hidden in the icons designed and illustrated by the incredible Scott Cathey.

    The books both release on May 19, 2026 but you can already preorder! Place your orders at History Through Fiction or wherever you buy books!

  • Jungle of Ashes’ First Event! Virtual Cover Reveal Party!

    Jungle of Ashes’ First Event! Virtual Cover Reveal Party!

    I guess it’s going to be a real book! Jungle of Ashes has its first event on the calendar! Put on your coziest slippers, grab your drink of choice (Prosecco for me!) and join us on Zoom for not one but two cover reveals! On Wine, Words and First Looks we’ll be revealing the cover for my second novel Jungle of Ashes AND the new cover for the new edition of Jaguars and Other Game, both coming out with History Through Fiction on May 19.

    I’m so excited to be joined by Caroline Hewitt, the audio narrator for Jungle of Ashes and Jillian Forsberg, fabulous historical fiction and JoA’s first official reviewer. The conversation will be hosted by my editor and founder of History Through Fiction, Colin Mustful. We’re going to have a great time. I love a virtual event because I can be cozy and cozy makes me chatty. I will probably overshare and ask inappropriate questions. I can’t wait to speak to Caroline (we’ve only emailed a ton) and hear how she handled all the Portuguese words and Brazilian accents. Y’all she learned a Brazilian for my book!

    The event is FREE! Just register on Eventbrite to get the link and mark your calendar for Friday, February 20 at 8pm EST/7pm CST.

    Happy 3rd birthday to Jaguars and Other Game! I’ve got big news to celebrate. Jaguars and Other Game is going to rerelease with History Through Fiction in March of 2026. Same fierce sisterhood, mad royals and murder! New press and new look!

    If you’ve noticed that Jaguars has disappeared from Orange Blossom’s site, Kindle, and other online bookstores, don’t worry! It will be back in digital and paperback forms next March. I’m so excited to partner with History Through Fiction to introduce my fabulous heroines and this fascinating period in Brazilian history to new readers. Check back in for lots of fun updates including cover reveals for Jaguars and Other Game AND my new historical fiction, Jungle of Ashes, also coming out with History Through Fiction next year.
