Author, Artist, Scientist: Professionally Curious

Cedar Sanderson is a writer of fiction, essays, and more. She is also a graphic designer and artist. She has worlds to explore, as her whimsy takes her.

Child of Crows: Coming Soon!

Witchward: Magic has teeth.

Special Agent Amaya Lombard can sense the unseen — but it nearly destroyed her once. Now she tracks death curses, blood rites, and stolen children while trying to rebuild a life worth living. From frozen family massacres to heart-ripping rituals in the hollows, each case pulls her deeper into a world most people pretend doesn’t exist.

With allies like the no-nonsense deputy who refuses to look away and the fierce Appalachian wise-woman Merlin, Amaya fights not only for justice… but for the broken souls magic leaves behind.

From Book 1: When the starship’s captain died midway through a run with a cargo of exotic animals, the owner gave first mate Jem one chance, and one choice. The chance: if he successfully runs the trade route solo, he’ll become the new captain. If he fails, he’ll lose the only home he’s ever known. And the choice? He’s now raising an old earth animal called a basset hound. Between station officials, housebreaking, pirates, and drool, Jem’s got his hands full!

The ghouls, wraiths, and ghosties had not been part of the job description. Or maybe they had, just not in so many words. The neatly printed sign next to the ornate gates had simply read “Cemetery groundskeeper and caretaker needed. Inquire within.”
