THORNWICK VALE
Welcome to Thornwick Vale—a magical sanctuary where the banished and broken come to belong, happily-ever-afters arrive in the most unexpected forms, and found family is the strongest magic of all. Here, fallen angels land in fountains, flowers join dinner conversations, dragon familiars demand second breakfasts, and love has a mischievous habit of finding everyone who needs it most.
MEET D.L. MOORE
D.L. Moore has always believed that books should feel a little like being invited into someone’s home: there should be laughter in the kitchen, something warm to drink, at least one lovable troublemaker underfoot, and a comfortable place waiting for you when the real world becomes too noisy.
Thornwick Vale grew from that belief. It is the sort of town D.L. would happily move to tomorrow, provided someone could guarantee her a cozy cottage, a well-stocked bookshop, and a dragon familiar with only moderately expensive dietary requirements.
Until then, she plans to keep writing stories filled with magic, mystery, swoony romance, found family, and characters who make an alarming number of questionable decisions for people who are supposed to be saving the day.
She loves hearing from readers—especially those who enjoy warmhearted stories, happily-ever-afters, fictional mischief, and the possibility that magic might be hiding just around the corner.

Covens, Chamomile and Choirs
When a brooding angel falls into Thornwick Vale’s fountain, sunny hedgewitch Morwenna discovers they can hear each other’s thoughts. Now the unlikely pair must unravel the mystery threatening their magical sanctuary—while resisting a bond that feels suspiciously like fate.
Coming October 2026
Wings, Whimsy and Wizards
When Ravenna crashes through Silas’s prized greenhouse, the injured angel awakens with a damaged wing, missing memories, and nowhere else to go. Forced to work beside Thornwick Vale’s solitary necromancer, she discovers an ancient celestial message hidden among his magical plants—and a dangerous truth someone erased from her mind. Solving the mystery may restore Ravenna’s past, but falling for Silas could give her an entirely new future.
Coming November 2026
Christmas lasts an entire month in Thornwick Vale—which is twenty-nine days too long for the hilariously grumpy demon who unexpectedly finds herself stranded there. Her only hope of escaping is Oswin, an earnest, hopelessly nerdy angel determined to investigate why the town’s holiday magic is going dangerously awry. Between relentless caroling, enchanted mistletoe, and far too much festive cheer, she may survive Christmas—but falling for Oswin could be the one disaster she never saw coming.
Coming December 2026
Hellfire, Haloes and Holly
When an enchanted winter traps Thornwick Vale in ice, a curious frost faerie may be the only person capable of stopping it. Unfortunately, saving the town means working with its fiercely private dragon-shifter blacksmith—whose dragonfire powers Thornwick Vale’s warming wards and is mysteriously beginning to fail. Forced together by opposing magic and an inconvenient attraction, they’ll discover some hearts burn hotter than dragonfire.
Coming February 2027
Frost, Fae and Flames
Velvet, Vixens and Vampires
When a cursed length of velvet magically binds sarcastic fox shifter Simone to Drum—Thornwick Vale’s grumpiest and most dramatic vampire—neither intends to enjoy it. To break the bond before the Harvest Moon Masquerade, they must follow a trail of stolen magical heirlooms, survive far too much forced proximity, and ignore an attraction neither trusts. But some curses don’t trap two hearts together—they reveal where those hearts have always belonged.
