PREORDER SPIEL: BEWITCHED BY CANDLELIGHT

 Hey everyone! I have a big preorder goal for Bewitched by Candlelight, because there are a lot of goodies I have planned for folks who preorder! 

So here's the deal. A limited number of preorders, whether it's through Fourthwall or Kindle, will receive things like handmade bookmarks, collage cottagecore-style with watercolors and the works, Austenite stickers, and a couple authorly surprises. Kindle preorders will also receive a signed bookplate, while physical preorders through Fourthwall will receive a signed paperback with the preorder goodies. 

I also have a limited number of ten painted-edge editions for Bewitched by Candlelight that will be available for only $5 more. The edges will be hand-painted by me with a pale shimmery gold that will catch the light in certain angles. Those will be exclusive to my Fourthwall! 

There will also be a limited number of two maps included that split open a massive project that I've been working on behind the scenes. The ordinary reader will not receive this information for a long time--so if you preorder, consider yourself part of the insiders...for, like, several upcoming series. 

A note? There will actually be more preorder goodies available than my actual goal, which is 20 preorders by November 24th! If you want in on the fun, you know what to do! And if you're super extra amazing, you can share about the preorders too!

BLURB

Christmas approaches, and with it, a dangerous scheme. Can he stop the damage before it’s too late?

Eleanor Elliott intends to marry only for ardent love, but as Christmastide approaches with merriment and joy, her mother’s meddlesome matchmaking takes a dangerous turn. With unruly sisters and the looming threat of losing her home, she has no time to entertain the prejudiced Mr. Coley. Yet, as Eleanor’s life spins out of control, Mr. Coley may be the only one who can help. Will her eyes be opened before it’s too late, or will she fall into the trap set for her downfall?

Bewitched by Candlelight is a magical realism retelling of Pride and Prejudice, a standalone novella set in the snowy backdrop of Christmas. It is part of The Candlelit Tales, a series of seasonal fantasy retellings. Each story is written by a different author and may be enjoyed in any order.

Release Day: November 24, 2026.
