This year, I’m participating on a virtual panel for Cymera 2025! I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be participating on a virtual panel with cozy fantasy legend, Julie Leong!
–
1:00 PM – 2:00PM (Mountain Time, USA)
Dragons, destiny, and a dash of tea—two heartwarming adventures filled with magic, mischief, and the unexpected families we find along the way.
In The Teller of Small Fortunes, Julie Leong introduces Tao, a fortune teller who specializes in small predictions—but finds herself swept up in a much bigger journey. Joined by a roguish thief, an ex-mercenary, a baker, and a slightly magical cat, Tao sets out to find a lost child and maybe, just maybe, a new family worth risking her heart for.
In Tea You at the Altar, Rebecca Thorne brings us back to the comforting (and chaotic) world of Tomes & Tea. Sapphic soulmates Kianthe and Reyna are finally tying the knot… if they can survive wedding crashers, parental interference, rampaging baby dragons, and a secret plot to overthrow the queen. It’s the biggest event of the year—assuming they make it to the altar alive
