Midwinter Magic
featuring “A Charm of Frost and Gingerbread” by M.K. Linniko
Three years after losing her husband, Reena retreats to the snowy town of Frostvale to brew magical healing tonics and care for her stubborn father-in-law. When a frosty misunderstanding comes with a plate of apology cookies, a magical winter market just might give Reena the courage to embrace new love and finally call Frostvale home.
“Some mornings, like this one, the snow would drift over the little cottage's windowsills just right with sparkling frost.”
“His eyes were a soft gingerbread brown, melting into brown sugar.”
“Christmas magic is in the air, swirling with sugar and cinnamon flare,” Reena mumbled along with the song on the radio.
Her books
Every story has its own world and its own colours.

“I write the space between the world we are promised and the one we are left to survive. And when the static gets too loud, I write about main characters who choose to survive through their anxiety and fears.”
