Dearest friends,
How are you?
How's your writing, reading, and/or other interests going?
I'm rising from my annual Hermit Hibernation to bring you an exciting update... preorders are now open for my new book, Mystic Storyteller: A Writer's Guide to Using the Tarot for Creative Inspiration!
That's right. If you missed the crowdfunding campaign back in the summer, you can now reserve your copy of my new book and/or companion tarot deck by clicking/tapping the image and/or button below.
Details about the book and a production update follow, so if you venture to the site to preorder, please come back to this post to catch that update...
Production Update
All 78 card designs are complete! They are just stunning. I've included a sampling below.
Stacey, book designer and La Panthère founder (my publisher), is busy adding the finishing touches to our Mystic Storyteller book design. I just saw it last week and it's SO AWESOME. I can't wait to hold that book baby in my hands and pass it along to yours!
As for me, I just finished writing the "Little White Book" that will accompany the Mystic Storyteller Tarot cards, and I'm hard at work on my newest fiction project.
Production is still on track for a Spring 2025 release! If you are a Backer of the Mystic Storyteller project, you will receive your pledged orders before anyone else. You get to hold this book baby first.
More updates to come as there is news to share. Until then, just look at these gorgeous cards! Even the Nine of Swords is swoon-worthy.
Now, back to my hibernation
I will rise again from my annually scheduled winter slumber at the first of the year. Until then, I hope your winter is warm and your new year is everything you wish it to be.
Love,
Mandy

I’m so excited to get mine!
Hello, I came across your page and love all the writing resources you have! I am also working on my story called "The Lost Witch." I have been a witch for 30 years and I am in love with this world I'm building. I would love to talk in messages if that is ok, I just saw the witch and tarot stuff and I was like, "oh hey I'm doing exactly that!" Lol. Anyway, thanks for your time.
