What’s New
Right now, the whole ARC Team is pretty new! But this is the spot where I’ll post news and updates–so keep checking back!
Right now, the big news is that the first book in the Olive Tree Academy series, Apprentice, is available as a post-publication Review Copy! If you started with my mailing list freebie, “Fetch,” then Apprentice is the next book in line for you. (If you didn’t read “Fetch,” that’s fine, too–it’s just a prequel short story, nothing you have to read to follow Apprentice. Neither book has any real spoilers for the other; you can read them in either order.)
Also, The Nexus Season One: Unseen World will be released as a boxset on February 6, 2026. The ARC I’m offering is that full set, including a bonus story! (Its BIG, though–if you prefer to just read/review individual books from within that file, that is 100% fine, too!)
And finally, Book Two in the OTA Series, Between the Worlds, will be coming as a pre-publication ARC sometime in the next few months. I don’t know the exact date the ARC will be ready yet–it’s currently still with my Beta readers. But as a member of the ARC Team, you’ll be the first to know when the time comes!
I’m sort of experimenting currently with whether to use StoryOrigin or direct-access to ARCs so, for right now, I’m trying both. If you request apprentice, you’ll be directed to StoryOrigin’s ARC interface, but if you request The Nexus, you’ll be taken straight to a direct-download page. (Still at StoryOrigin, but no signup/request process involved.)
Thanks for checking in!

Apprentice: Olive Tree Academy Book One
Sofia agreed to enroll in the Psychic Arts program at Olive Tree Academy with one goal: to learn how not to use her abilities. But ever since she arrived, almost a month late and feeling completely out of her depth, strange things have been happening. The only person who might be able to help her is the person she’s the least willing to put in danger.
Cabot was an excellent student… last year. Now that his second year at OTA has begun, he feels less psychic than when he first enrolled over a year ago. Now he’s been chosen to mentor the new girl, whose abilities far outstrip his own. Trouble seems to follow Sofia wherever she goes, but Cabot thinks getting close to her is well worth the risk.
Welcome to Olive Tree Academy for Supernatural Studies! Join Sofia and Cabot in this first installment of a new series in the Barrow City world of Sara Blake!
The Nexus Season One: Unseen World
Things are different in Arcanum…
Sure, every city has its urban legends and local mythology but, in Arcanum, it all seems more… real. Here, the stories aren’t secondhand—everybody’s seen something they couldn’t explain, heard something they couldn’t locate a source for.
Freelance writer and blogger Kaden Kelly’s journey begins with the launch of his blog, Arcanum City Secrets, created to investigate the strange happenings in Arcanum. Soon after his very first post, he discovers a world far stranger than the unexplained blackouts and lights in the sky he was investigating.
Follow Kaden and the rest of the Nexus Guardians over nine novella-length episodes as he learns about magick, monsters, and supernatural creatures, as well as the driving force behind the entire Unseen World: The Nexus.
Structured similarly to a television series, the books are grouped into seasons of nine novella-length episodes each. Each episode has its own plot, while also building toward the season-wide plot arc. Season One is complete NOW!
This bingeable Urban Fantasy series is perfect for fans of:
-Shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Magicians
-Multiple main characters working as a team
-Found family, diverse and inclusive characters
-Snarky characters facing real stakes
-Immersive world building
-Mythology-based gods and monsters
Come visit Arcanum today! The Nexus awaits…
