Hello, friends, and welcome, new subscribers! My ADHD brain is a bit scattered and prone to change things, but here in The Purple Vale you can count on reflections on folklore, fairy tales, and the seasons from my little corner of East Tennessee, the unceded land of Cherokee and Muskogee people.
I can’t believe we’re in the last month of the year, and that it marks my 2 year anniversary of writing here at The Purple Vale. To every one of you who are here, thank you for being here, and for your support!
Today’s post is text light and nature heavy. Also, scroll to the end for a book sale (which includes The Secret Heart of Maeve MacGowan).

The Maiden’s Arc workbook & book sale
In case you missed it, my new Maiden’s Arc workbook is now available for purchase as a PDF right here in the Purple Vale. I share a freebie you can download in the above link. This 15-page PDF is full-color but prints just fine in grayscale, too. The cost until the end of the year will be $7. I may raise the price to $10 after that, we’ll see.1
Also, I’ve partnered with other fantasy authors to bring you a group sale featuring low or no romance, low violence books. The Secret Heart of Maeve MacGowan is on sale for $2.99 for this month. Click the image below to learn more.
Thanks for reading, friends. Is there something beautiful about November that really sparked your interest or imagination? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear from you.
Meet you over the orchard wall.*

I’ve recently been told to raise my prices, but I’m being stubborn and taking my time about it.
