Current Work In Progress

Beneath the emerald green lies a darker shade of magic.

After a decade of crafting acclaimed, ground-breaking contemporary YA fiction, Juliann Rich is stepping away from the familiar and into the mist. Driven by a deeply personal desire to explore her own Celtic heritage, her latest work-in-progress, Irish Fairytales and Scary Tales, bridges the gap between ancestral roots and bone-chilling speculative fiction. This new collection of dark folklore trades contemporary realism for ancient whispers, proving that sometimes old magic isn't kind, and fairytales come with teeth.
