Hello, my name is Hannah.

I am a lover of magic, seasons, writing, books, fairy tales, cats, tea, rainstorms, and all things nerdy.

This site may have my name on it, but its purpose and dedication are to these things I love, and here you will find writings about them, and much about my journey of keeping magic and beauty in daily life.

You will also find my fantasy novel The Mark of Fire, as well as writings about the book and my process of writing it. 

I try to capture all this in my "Bookstagram" (Instagram) feed as well.

In a busy world, I am extra thankful for simplicity, beauty, and little nooks that help us step out of time.

I sincerely hope this can be one of those places.
