We lived most our lives in sunny California, but we love the rainy days in Seattle.
We started this online store to sell our books directly to our readers, to create a community of book lovers, and to bring you the best deals and quality possible.
You can find our books at most online book retailers. Here here we can connect with us and curate your experience.
I love to create with pixels and color, as well as pen and paper. I adore anything that sparkles and play with stickers daily.
In my free time I love to play board games, video games, snuggle my cats, and journal. I adore fountain pens and planners, it's a hobby and a life style. I am always working on new creative skills.
At Wood Sorrel Studios I design book covers and merchandise. If you ever need anything, you can email me.
I spend most days at my computer, making up fantasy, science fiction, and mystery stories. I love to devise ways to put my characters in difficult situations.
Here are a couple of fun facts about me.
I lived in South America for ten years. My youngest son was born in Colombia, and my youngest daughter was born in Bolivia, during a coup.
The soldier who stopped us on the way to the hospital, pointed his machine gun into the car, and said, "Señora, today is not a good day to have a baby."
I didn't disagree.
I have an unexplainable affinity for bad 1980s movies and stories about young adults. If you're a shrink, don't tell me what that means. I'm perfectly happy not knowing.
A little bit about us as a company:
We publish books and make cool stuff that relates to our books.
Our biggest desire?
To publish entertaining stories for our readers. It's the simple things in life that matter.
Because we don't want anyone to miss out, all out books are also sold at all major online retail stores.
When we started publishing, it didn't take long to learn that having our books on retail stores was great, amazing, wonderful. But several things were out of our control: having a sale or giving readers a discount or doing special events.
Solution?
Our own store!
Now, we can reach our readers directly. This is the best way to show us your support, and the best way for us to bring you deals.
Best part of having an online store?
We wanted an elegant solution to keep us in touch with readers and to give them the great deals. Our own store does just that.
There are a dragon load of thing we want to do for our readers. We want to have:
This all boils down to one thing. MORE FLEXIBILITY for us, for our readers, or for people who just want to buy a dragon mug or a snarky Swords of Aroc t-shirt.

We have two imprints, Sorrel Leaf Press and Wood Sorrel Press.
Jade takes no guff. She makes her nightly rounds, checking every room, door, and window to make sure everything is safe for sleeping. She's a serious cat.
Zelda likes to play with the red dot and the light from the stained glass window. She gets bored easily and likes to sing the song of her people on the stairs until someone notices her.
We live in the Pacific Northwest so we have critters who live in our trees or just pass through to say hello. Squirrels, crows, woodpeckers, raccoons, and bunnies. Once a bobcat sauntered through the backyard.
