News and updates
All the interesting things.

It’s been a little quiet around here lately, and I wanted to share why—I'm delighted to announce that I'm expecting a baby boy, due this September! Pregnancy has brought both joy and a few challenges, and it’s slowed my writing progress more than I’d hoped. But the story of Of Flame and Fern is still very much alive in my mind and heart.
To stay connected with the world of Thera and Caelin, I’ve commissioned several new pieces of artwork featuring them—small glimpses of the story I look forward to returning to soon. I’m hoping to carve out time for more writing before the baby arrives, and I can’t wait to share what’s next when the words begin flowing again. Thank you for your patience and support as this next chapter of life unfolds.

Hi everyone!
I’m excited to share a quick update on the progress of Of Flame and Fern. The novel is continuing to evolve, and I’m now in the final stages of drafting. There have been some exciting new developments in the story, especially as I dive deeper into Thera’s journey and her growing bond with Caelin Thorne. The world of elemental magic, fae intrigue, and complex relationships is really taking shape, and I can’t wait to share more with you.
As I work through the final chapters, I’m also refining earlier sections, making sure the story flows smoothly and the characters’ paths feel authentic. It’s been such a rewarding experience to see the story come together, and I’m looking forward to the next steps, which will include polishing and preparing the manuscript for its next phase.
Thank you for your continued support and patience on this journey. I’ll be sharing more updates soon, including some behind-the-scenes insights into the writing process and maybe even a sneak peek at a scene or two!
Stay tuned, and feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts.
Until next time, Loren
