My Fiction

Sierra, a young dryad living in the modern human world, must bridge the gap between her mystical heritage and the digital world to save her home grove from the raging wildfires.

As she uncovers the hidden power of her digital bond tree, Sierra must confront not only the destructive forces of nature but also her own fears of rejection and the tension between tradition and innovation. With the fate of her grove hanging in the balance, Sierra’s journey will challenge her to discover the true magic of connection in the digital age.

Winona has spent her entire life looking across the river at the land where humans chopped down her forest. So when beehives appear on that same bank, she knows exactly what it means: the dreaded honey mushroom, its rot working up through the roots, and the grove dying all over again.

Her sisters want to research it first. Winona needs it eradicated. Now.

But the beekeeper is gentler than she expects, and he reads soil better than any dryad in the basin. That night, alone with the books her sisters don’t know she has, Winona finds the one word that unravels everything her fear was based on.

Then the real infection surfaces—in the roots of a hopeful willow priestess in Salix Basin.
