Two paths into the stories

Salt & Solitude

A standalone coastal drama set along the storm-battered cliffs of northern Maine, tracing a solitary lighthouse keeper sorting fifty years of unread ship logs.

The Ashwood Ledger

Book one of the Blackthorn Chronicles. A vanished estate surveyor leaves behind an encoded journal that entangles three strangers across the winter fens of 1884.

Reader notes

Moss crafts historical fiction that feels tactile, patient, and deeply human. You can smell the wet timber, hearth smoke, and autumn rain on every page.
