Welcome to The Teacake Gazette - fiction steeped in whimsy, romance, and cozy magic.
I write stories set in the Victorian, Edwardian, and modern eras—mostly romance, but also adventures and magical tales from the American West, Victorian England, the circus, fairy-tale worlds, and the occasional spooky corner.
Below, you’ll find the different categories of fiction I write in. Clicking a category title will take you to its landing page, or you can explore the entire fictional world at once by reading The Teacake Gazette.

Bloom & Bough is a story garden where fairies wander through wildflower paths, trees guard their ancient truths, and magic hums just below the roots. Inspired by the natural world, these tales weave together the secret language of petals, the mystery of old forests, and the playful shimmer of folklore and fae. Step beneath leaf and wing to discover the whispers of magic carried on the breeze.
Tales of love, legend, and spectacle from the untamed West. From the wind-swept deserts and snow-capped mountains to the bright lights and shadowed corners beneath the big top, these stories follow homesteaders chasing a foothold in the wilderness, drifters carrying more than they’ll tell, and ringmasters spinning dreams under a canvas sky.
Glimpses of love, mystery, and everyday life in the Victorian era. From tender romances and quiet family moments to the bustle of servant life, these short stories capture the charm and intrigue of the 19th century. Pour a cup of tea and step into an age of manners, secrets, and heart. Let each vignette carry you back to a time of candlelit evenings and whispered dreams.
Whispers in the dark drift through the air—are they friend or foe? These tales explore the mysterious and slightly darker side of the Victorian era, when séances and spiritualism were in vogue. Look for the raven 🐦⬛ to mark a scarier story and the magnifying glass 🔎 for a true encounter.
Discover story extras, character Q&As, world maps, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into my fiction. These bonus scenes, bits of lore, and curious details add depth and richness to the worlds I create. Like loose leaves and forgotten pages, they may be unbound, but they are no less cherished.
