When Hayley isn't writing about the high stakes, politically charged, magical kingdom of Trevesiga, she can be found chasing down her errant toddler or working full-time in financial services.
Her debut novel, Aubade Rising, will be published in September 2025.
Hayley's dream is to be a full-time author and until then, she writes in stolen moments after her toddler has fallen asleep.
A rebellion grows in Trevesiga. For too long, magic has been outlawed. The penalty for breaking the law is severe. When the new King is too weak to push for change, a rebel group threatens to usurp his rule. Facing an impossible choice, Sage, an Aubade with forbidden magic, must rely on her intellect to navigate lethal palace politics and prevent a civil war.
