The Never Tales duology
Is it flying, or are you falling?
My poem is part of The Never Tales duology published by Twenty Hills Publishing and both books are now available! Flying/Falling has two parts and is a rooftop romance, a dance, a swoony-sweet, song-like duet between Peter and Wendy.
I’m so excited about this collection of poems and short stories, each with their own unique twist on Peter Pan lore, which is absolutely classic!

Is Neverland a place of sweet dreams—or of unending nightmares?
For years, young and old have loved the story of Peter Pan, but few have peeled back the pages to see the darkness that lurks beneath.
Dust off your childhood fantasies and fears and come soar through the night skies with these reimagined beloved characters. What happens when Neverland faces the threat of becoming unraveled? Or when the emotionally vulnerable seek shelter with Pan—not knowing whether he’s a friend or foe? Shadows creep along behind Pan—some playful, while others possess the sweetest of children. It will take more than faith, trust, and pixie dust for lost Wendies to find their way home, for mermaids to get their wishes, and for nurseries to survive the night. Because pirates seek their treasures, wolves stalk their prey, and evil Pans lurk at windows, ready to catch children unaware.
From whimsy and sweet to dark and emotional, The Never Tales, Volume One reintroduces you to these characters in ways you’ve never seen before. Take Peter’s hand and soar past the second star for an awfully big adventure…if you dare.
“This collection of retold stories and poems is not the one you would read to your children in the nursery. These are stories about the monsters lurking outside the window and within the shadows, tales about love, betrayal, revenge, determination, and hope. The Never Tales is chilling, enthralling, and sometimes whimsical…speaking to the child in us all.” —Everly Haywood, Author of Peaceweaver
“This is a retelling anthology with a lot of range. The talented authors all bring their own versions of this story to life. Between the beautiful prose and fun poetry, there was never a dull moment.” —Nathaniel Luscombe, Author of The Ones with Gilded Bones
THE NEVER TALES: Volume Two | Kindle edition here! Paperback here!
Is Peter Pan a hero, a villain, or a shadow in between?
The pages have been peeled back to reveal the darkness of Neverland, but will Peter Pan be the savior or destroyer of childhood dreams?
Climb aboard the Jolly Roger and explore the classic tale of Peter Pan in a new, eerie light. What happens to Neverland when Peter Pan dies—or when he forces old couples to live in his paradise? Or when Tiger Lily races against time to save her home? Hook seeks revenge on a dear old friend, and murderous mermaids ensnare their prey. The streets of London crawl with gangs while Big Ben and Tick Tock keep time of impending doom.
Moving and dark, The Never Tales: Volume Two is a collection of short stories, flash fiction, and poetry that reimagines the Neverland stories with epic twists. So grab the helm, believe in fairies, and beware the shadows as you jump on the wind’s back…then away you go!
