So excited to share the book cover for THE GLASS LOOKER! I became fascinated with Sally Chase during deconstruction and wanted to explore the magical foundations of Mormonism through a feminist lens. I can’t wait for you all to read it! Preorder is up now too.

The Glass Looker: “In an atmospheric blend of folk magic, Mormon mythology, real history, and Joseph Smith’s time in Upstate New York at the close of the Second Great Awakening, the bestselling author of The Fourth Wife reexamines the origins of Mormonism through an unapologetically feminist lens.”

RUN to Kindle and Audible! The Fourth Wife is on sale this week! The Fourth Wife is a creepy Gothic horror about a Mormon polygamist family living in a haunted house in 1882 Utah. It’s spooky, historically researched, and a feminist tale of overcoming patriarchy.

I just sent my paper for a conference to the panel moderator that’s a well-known historian in this field and I’m now suddenly certain every word of my paper is garbage.

Working on my Mormon History Association paper on polygamy and the Gothic, and pointing out both Mr. Rochester and Brigham Young kept extra wives in the attic is both very amusing and horrifying.

I’m looking through the Nauvoo Relief Society minutes trying to find a specific person for my thesis but getting way too distracted by the 1842 gossip. What “scandalous tales” were being told about Sister Brown to Sarah Cleveland?! (It was probably polygamy.)

More fun thesis research finds: Father charges his son $35 in his will for getting married at 20. Year 1841. I should note this man was Mormon and if Mormons today charged their kids for getting married before 21, a LOT of people would have to pay up 😂

Utahns & Mormons, I’m researching spooky or unexplained experiences on Temple Square. If you know a missionary who served there or an employee at the Lion House, I would love to be connected with them.

“Dora” Lovina Young Dunford Hagan loved her father, Brigham Young, the Mormon Moses, but she ultimately rejected polygamy and embraced Catholicism, living in conflict with other family members and Latter-day Saints until the end of her life.

I decided to make a note of how Mormons pronounce it but leave it up to the producer to decide which is best for a general audience.

Making the pronunciation guide for all the weird Mormon names in my book for the audiobook narrator. I’m debating if “Zion” should sound Utahn or not.

I did not see that! If there’s a link, I’d love to see it. Sounds like a story for Exponent. One of our readers just reported she was forced to resign this week under duress by her SP for speaking out about JS’s 14 year old wives on IG 😢

THE FOURTH WIFE is the story of Mormon polygamists living in a haunted house in 1880s Utah. Inspired by my own ancestors, it’s a feminist reckoning with religion trauma. Anyone who has experienced a faith crisis, struggled with patriarchy, or reclaimed their life will find themselves in its pages.
