welcome to Norland

Welcome to Norland — a country both familiar and entirely its own, where politics, love, grief, and second chances intertwine. As the world of On the Edge of After unfolds, so do the lives of the people who inhabit it. Each character carries their own history, heartbreak, and quiet hopes, shaping the story in ways both seen and unseen.

Here, you’ll meet the people of Norland one by one. From Merritt Clarke, whose journey begins in the fragile aftermath of loss, to Beau Laurent, whose public responsibilities mask private complexities, and all those who orbit around them — family, friends, and the ones who complicate everything. This is where you’ll learn who they are, where they’ve come from, and what still keeps them awake at night.

As Norland continues to grow, so will this collection of characters. I invite you to step inside, get to know them, and fall a little bit in love — just like I have while writing them.

If you are ready to make a bigger commitment to Norland, you can preorder my debut novel, On the Edge of After, now.
