Vision of the Series
Abhaile, the world of the New Trails series, is founded on an intricate understanding of the ways in which connections and synchronicities act as a force for good and for learning — calling a trail, so to speak.
My writing supports the vision that the universe is about ‘Yes!” rather than ‘No!”, holding to a belief in the positive over the negative and a refusal to give into despair even when — especially when — it seems warranted.
And this series — all my series — are about the importance of staying whatever path is yours.

“The overall flavor of New Trails reminds me of DeLint’s work in that seamless naturalness of Kieran’s almost magic-infused world.
