New Book! THE COPPER STONE

This book is an amended edition of Copper Magic, with a foreword by Sandi Boucher. Available now!

My debut novel Copper Magic received a Kirkus star, but it was also sharply criticized by an Indigenous reviewer. The rights reverted, and I was honored to partner with Anishinaabe reconciliation facilitator Sandi Boucher to recraft the Indigenous content. We worked together to mitigate the missteps that I made in writing about Anishinaabe people and ideas. In Sandi’s words, this amended version “intrigues without disrespect and informs without misinformation.” The story got fuller in unexpected ways as we went along.

Sandi and I have been doing author talks together and look forward to more discussions about reconciliation and bridging across culture and beliefs.

Let me know if you’d like to talk about having us at your book club or classroom!
