The Author’s Shelf

Books from my own worlds

“She told me the world would hurt me.
She never said it would start with her.”
She had one rule…never look back.
But the past has a way of following.
I thought I escaped with my life.
I didn’t realize… I was carrying hers.
They hear the hum beneath the world…
and the world quietly bends around them.

Elle's Onyx Necklace
$65.00

“For protection,” she whispered, “but not the kind you’re thinking of.”

Elle turned it over. It was warm. Throbbing faintly, like it had a heartbeat.

“Protection from what?” she asked, feeling a little nervous.

“From forgetting,” The Countess smiled, knowingly.

“You’ll understand, when the time comes. When you feel like something’s missing, this will hum and you’ll remember me,” The Countess whispered, her voice echoing inside of Elle’s mind.

Elle unconsciously slipped it over her head. Later, she would try to take it off but she wouldn’t be able to.

Inspired by Elle’s necklace in my new novel, If You Know You Know, a lovely faceted black onyx gemstone pendant with gold plated frame, suspended on a 14K gold-fill 18” chain. Pendant measures 12mm x 20mm.

WHAT IS 14K GOLD FILL 14K Gold fill is a beautiful alternative to solid gold, as it offers the ideal balance of quality and value. Gold fill pieces can be worn daily (and in the shower) while still looking as gorgeous as when it was first purchased. It has multiple thick layers of solid gold pressure-bonded to high-quality jeweler’s brass.

Maren's Emerald Necklace

For protection. For power. For the women who already know.

A fine sterling silver chain. A raw emerald, small but unmissable. The kind of piece you never take off.

Delicate enough to layer. Powerful enough to stand alone.

Emerald is the birthstone for May, but in Casting Shadows, it’s something else entirely. It’s protection. It’s recognition. It’s the moment someone sees you clearly.

“For protection,” he told her. “And it matches the colour of your eyes.” - Jace, Casting Shadows

✨ 5mm emerald

✨ Adjustable 16”–18” sterling silver chain

✨ Made in Canada by Hunter & Trove

Crafted from solid 925 sterling silver for everyday wear, because protection should never be occasional.

It’s a promise placed at your throat.
