Berylka’s healing journey begins the moment she tumbles into the river.
When she washes up in Silverfern Hollow, all she wants is to be left alone with her cozy cottage, her battered tools, and the territorial baby dragon who’s claimed her sock drawer as its den.
But the town has other plans. Starting with raspberry wine, a witch, and a mysterious creature at her doorstep who insist on becoming her friends.
There’s also Brannic, the local blacksmith: a broad-shouldered brute with a secret artistic streak and a soft spot for Berylka. They start off as rivals and clash like iron on anvil… until sparks fly.
As Berylka rediscovers her dream of goldsmithing, she finds herself drawn into the warmth of a town that doesn’t care about her past. But when river pirates threaten everything she’s come to love, she must decide if she’s ready to fight—not just for the Hollow, but for a future forged with her own hands.
A Goblin’s Guide to Goldsmithing is a cozy fantasy of found family, healing journey, grumpy rivals-to-lovers romance, and baby dragons. It weaves in serious themes like recovering from domestic abuse with warmth, humor, and heart.
It’s book 2 of the Tales of Silverfern Hollow series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Hope drove them upward. Now survival on the surface will test them.
Silo 42: Journey is the fourth gripping saga in the Silo 42 series. Having left the only home they’ve known, a determined caravan of former silo dwellers steps outside into a world no one in over a century has ever seen.

The ocean lies ahead and the possibility of building a new society. But so do difficult choices, old wounds, and the haunting question:
Was leaving the silo the beginning of something even harder?
What other surprises will test them?
Will newly formed alliances hold?
Will they and their vision of a new beginning survive?
The next chapter of this epic protopian saga unfolds in Silo 42: Journey, coming October 2025.

At the reading of her late husband’s will, Ginny Rigby discovers two things.
One: He had a secret family.
Two: She has one hour to vacate the premises before that family takes possession of her beloved home.

But even worse, how will she tell her grown daughters the shameful truth about their father?
