Where to start

Most of my books can be read in any order, so start where interests you! (But you do want to read the Mysterious Fields trilogy in order.)

I also have more suggestions on reading order if you’re looking to follow threads of particular characters.

Need one suggestion?

I recommend Pastiche as a book that has all the things my books do – 1906 arranged marriage to love match while tackling a puzzle about some stained glass.

Other options

These books are all great starting places, recommended by my readers. The first two are novellas (and Ancient Trust is available for free via my newsletter, Discord, or Patreon, though it’s not a romance. Check out that page for how to get it.) If you’d rather start a series from the beginning, keep reading down the page.
