I'm getting nervously excited about the release of my first novella, The Wood. This story came to me as I was processing some of the new and (at the time) unexplainable things happening in my body as a result of post-COVID symptoms. That processing turned into a story about disability, self-acceptance, and found family. I'm planning to release the book on June 1st, just in time for me to table at the Trans Resistance Festival in Boston on June 3rd, where I'll be spreading the word about Underground Bookshelf and sharing my book release with audiences there.

Image Description: An acrylic painting of a path leading through the brambles and into the trees. The deep browns, blues, and greens give the painting an eerie feeling. The title "The Wood" is printed across the center of the design in swooping brushstrokes. The author's name (Laura M. Browne-Lambert) is printed in tall block letters at the bottom of the painting.

A coming-of-age story set in a small village on the edge of the wood, this novella tells the story of self-acceptance, found family, and the power within.
Like every other girl in her village, Kyla has been taught to ward off curses with the right concoction of herbs, but when the curse of a new plague falls upon the Village, the Aunts fail to purge the illness from ailing citizens. After an accident leaves Kyla struggling to adapt to a new disability, she becomes the target of a witch-hunt. In order to survive, she will have to consider what it means to be a witch.
This is the first book released by Laura M. Browne-Lambert.
