"Songs of Ash and Dawn is the first book in an all-new epic fantasy saga, where dark magic, ancient gods, and mythic creatures collide.
Some truths change everything. Some destroy it.
After her grandmother's sudden death, Aidan Klein inherits a powerful magical artifact-one she barely understands, let alone knows how to control. All she wants is time to grieve. But witches are vanishing, and something ancient is hunting in the dark.
Cora Scholtz believes she knows who she is. But when secrets about her true heritage begin to surface, the life she's built starts to unravel. Someone has been pulling the strings all along-and she's about to break free.
As monsters emerge from myth into reality, alliances shatter and trust fractures. Aidan and Cora must face dangerous magic, hidden powers, and the weight of destinies they never asked for.
With its blend of dark fantasy, urban fantasy intrigue, and mythology-inspired worldbuilding, Songs of Ash and Dawn launches an unforgettable saga of friendship, betrayal, and survival. Perfect for readers who love strong female leads, supernatural adventure, and found family fantasy.

"A small dose of kindness can go a long way.
Andy Clark has always been different. But it isn't just the tumorous mass covering half his face that sets him apart-it's his quiet kindness. As an anonymous do-gooder in Flatsboro, North Carolina, Andy lives out what his mama taught him, even though she's no longer there.
Della Rose Miller, a well-known former beauty queen, escapes her crumbling marriage to arrogant Wade Miller and moves back to her hometown in hopes of finding reprieve. She and her daughter settle into a little Flatsboro apartment and quickly learn that they're in the same complex as a childhood classmate whose heart Della Rose broke in third grade.
With her life turned upside down, Della Rose is uneasy about starting fresh, but when unassuming Andy turns his generosity toward her daughter, an unlikely friendship rekindles. When a heroic act suddenly pushes Andy into the spotlight, he risks his anonymity and quiet day-to-day habits to stand up for what's right.
As Della Rose navigates the end of her marriage and Andy continues his secret philanthropy, they navigate grief and trusting God. Heather Norman Smith weaves a charming and heartwarming Southern story to remind you of the power of simple kindness.
"Readers seeking a touching story of faith and redemption won't be able to resist the heartwarming friendship at the novel's center. It's a tender ode to small-town morals and second chances.""
"When psychologist Marguerite Pierce lands unannounced in Wisconsin, investigative journalist Leah Nash wants nothing to do with her desperate request: exonerate Marguerite's sister, Hannah, convicted of murdering her married lover. Leah's plate is full—her struggling small-town newspaper is hemorrhaging advertisers and her book deadline looms. But Marguerite's plea strikes a raw nerve.
Digging into the victim Matthew Ferguson's life, Leah uncovers a minefield of motives. His wife mourns with suspicious fervor. His sister nurses a decades-old grudge. A political rival seethes over ruined ambitions. The husband of Matthew's mistress can't hide his fury. But it's Hannah's own daughter who raises the sharpest questions. What secrets are worth killing to protect?
As Leah races to untangle the truth, her own life becomes increasingly chaotic. A fan's admiration becomes a dangerous fixation, her newspaper teeters on collapse, and a looming personal decision threatens to upend her relationship with partner David Cooper. The case forces Leah to confront the ghosts of her past—and the realization that her relentless pursuit of justice may come at the cost of her own future.

"While sportswriters rushed into Major League Baseball locker rooms to talk with players, MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn barred the lone woman from entering along with them. That reporter, twenty-six-year-old Sports Illustrated reporter Melissa Ludtke, charged Kuhn with gender discrimination, and after the lawyers argued Ludtke v. Kuhn in federal court, she won. Her 1978 groundbreaking case affirmed her equal rights, and the judge's order opened the doors for several generations of women to be hired in sports media.
Locker Room Talk is Ludtke's gripping account of being at the core of this globally covered case that churned up ugly prejudices about the place of women in sports. Kuhn claimed that allowing women into locker rooms would violate his players' 'sexual privacy.' She weaves these public perspectives throughout her vivid depiction of the court drama overseen by Judge Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman to serve on the federal bench. She recounts how her lawyer, F. A. O. 'Fritz' Schwarz, employed an ingenious legal strategy that persuaded Judge Motley to invoke the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause in giving Ludtke access identical to that of her male counterparts. Locker Room Talk is both an inspiring story of one woman's determination to do a job dominated by men and an illuminating portrait of a defining moment for women's rights."
