Have you ever watched your cats… and wondered what they see?
I’m so excited to officially invite readers, parents, and educators to join the ARC for The Fantastical Adventures of Guinevere and Merlin: The Secret Key Society.
Applications will open on Saturday, May 9th for the Midnight Paws Society ARC — a small group of early readers who will step into the story before its official release.
✨ What is this story?
The Secret Key Society is the first book in a magical early reader series following two curious cats, Guinevere and Merlin.
When they discover something hidden within their home, they are drawn into a world of quiet magic, mystery, and a key that was never meant to be found.
Because some doors don’t just open… they invite you in.
🐾 What ARC readers will receive
As an ARC reader, you’ll receive early access to the story before publication.
This may include a pre-publication version with placeholder illustrations as the final artwork is completed.
🗝️ What I ask in return
In exchange, I ask for an honest review after reading.
This could be a few sentences about what you or your child enjoyed, what stood out, or what you felt while reading.
If possible, reviews can be shared on Amazon, Goodreads, social media, or anywhere you talk about books.
🌙 Who this ARC is for
- Children ages 4–8
- Parents and caregivers
- Teachers and early educators
- Readers who love cozy, magical stories

Guinevere and Merlin ARC Readers
I’m also opening early reader opportunities for The Fantastical Adventures of Guinevere and Merlin, a magical children’s story inspired by my very real cats, Guinevere and Merlin.
This ARC is especially for parents, teachers, librarians, homeschool families, and young readers who enjoy whimsical adventures, curious cats, hidden keys, and gentle magic. Feedback from children and the adults who read with them will help shape the final version of the book before publication.
If you are a parent, teacher, or reader with an age-appropriate child who would enjoy meeting Guinevere and Merlin, keep an eye out—ARC sign-ups are coming soon.

Meet the Author Behind the Magic
Curious about the person behind the pen and the stories shaped by mist, memory, cats, forests, and just a little bit of chaos?
If you’re curious to know more about the heart behind the words—the why behind the writing, the experiences that shape my stories, and the quiet beliefs that run beneath them like a forest stream—you’ll find all of that and more on my About Me page.
So if you feel called by tales woven with moss and meaning, or if you too believe there’s wonder tucked into the small and sacred corners of life, I think you’ll find something here that speaks to you. Come say hello, take a breath, and stay awhile.
