Thrilled to announce my next adult fantasy: 🥀 THE HAUNTING OF LADY DEATH 🥀
Out February 9, 2027 from @torbooks and February 11, 2027 from @torbookuk
✨Available to preorder now! ✨
Fantasy. Horror. Gothic Romance. This book is a genre blender! Fitting because this book was the culmination of a blend of my passions. For years, I’ve wanted to write a sapphic Phantom of the Opera retelling. When I wrote my master’s thesis on Romantic Nationalism, particularly discussing the use of national authors as political figureheads, it all started to come together. If The Maiden and Her Monster is about getting sucked into the lie of a story, The Haunting of Lady Death is about being yanked out of it.
You can expect:
🩸genre! gothic romance (toxic)
💀 death as a love interest (sapphic)
🎵 music-based magic
🥀19th century Romanticism
🕯️sentient theater
🐉 polish folklore
✨deathless x bluebeard x hades/persephone
🖤 brown, Jewish-coded MC
And of course, as with any Maddie Martinez book: a mediation on the power of stories, lots of politics, and hopefully lush, gothic-inspired prose :)

I simply have to share the cover again for Spellwright in case you missed it, illustrated by the most amazing @marymetzgr and designed by the marvelous Michael McCartney! I’m never getting over how perfectly this art captures Fia and Penbrook! 🖤
Spellwright is a YA cozy romantic fantasy in which a dust-fingered Spellwright must team up with an insufferably charming magician to uncover the secrets of a dangerous grimoire before its curse claims them both! And it’s coming from @simonteen October 27, 2026! It’s also available to preorder and I’d love to suggest two of my local bookstores: @literallybookshop and @changinghands
A few of the things you’ll find:
💫 A cozy spellshop
🖤 Unbreakable curses
💫 A Howl-adjacent, sleepy-eyed magician
🖤 A dust-fingered spellwright
💫 A barefoot ball
🖤 A gargoyle-guarded library
💫 A spoiled marmalade cat

To Vex and to Hex is out in 9 months!! It’s a cozy and spicy rom-com about a sunshine book-witch and a grumpy professor fighting over a small town bookstore, whilst also fighting the sparks flying between them, and I can’t wait to share it with readers this fall! 📚💕
