WOW! A back-to-back GOLD MEDAL category sweep!!!

I'm so proud of fellow author Connie Boyd and publisher Paul Romhany of VANISH press for learning and successfully enacting the craft and art of professional indie publishing.

We're taking magic mainstream! The "secret" is industry-standard publishing and marketing! Creating a great book is key, but it is just the start. Success is strategy not accident.

I founded Floating Lady Publishing in 2023 to expand magic publishing to the greater world. We've come so far so fast! FLP is currently booked three years out with publishing projects. But I love providing publishing mentorship and support.

Connie Boyd and I both have new magic history books coming out this year and next. Will we continue our Gold Medal-winning trend? Stay tuned!!!

I'm so thrilled for my friend and colleague Connie Boyd on her Reader Views 2025 GOLD AWARD in the Nonfiction Arts Category!!!!

This is a very big deal! This Reader Views Literary Awards attract thousands of entries.

Connie's book, THE POWER OF MAGICAL WOMEN, is just the second magic book ever to win this award. I am proud to report that the first was my book, THE GREAT BOOMSKY, which won the Reader Views 2024 GOLD AWARD in Nonfiction Arts. Brava Connie! Go us!!!

Unbelievable news! ✨ My book, The Power of Magical Women, has won a GOLD Award in the ARTS — General Non-Fiction category at the Reader Views Annual Literary Awards!
This is a mainstream literary honor, and I am beyond thrilled — especially for publisher and designer Paul Romhany of Vanish Press, whose vision helped bring this project to life.
This recognition matters far beyond one book. It elevates magic literature within the broader arts world and helps carry our stories — and the voices of magical women — to the general public.
Thank you to everyone who believes in The Power of Magical Women, history, and representation. This is a win for ALL the magical women & authors. 💫

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a surge of magicians began to refine their art, finding larger audiences and building communities of practice.
