Hi! I'm Iris, and my debut novel Sasha the Witch is coming out October 5, 2024 out and available for purchase.
I started the very very first version of this book in 2011 as a short screenplay. I realized pretty quickly that it wasn't destined to be a screenplay. It went back and forth from being a short story, to a novel, to a long short story, and finally back to a novel again in around 2017. As you can see, this story and these characters have been haunting me for some time.
This is my first copy I received. I ripped open the package when it arrived, and holding it in my hands, I cried. Holding my first book for the first time...that's big. And I'm so excited to introduce this story and these characters to the rest of the world!
Briefly: Sasha the Witch is the story of a young witch living in small town New York. Everyone knows about the witches in this New York, and not everyone is happy about them. In the United States, witches live under laws which limit their magic. Sasha Hoffman and her best friend Courtney Johnson are eager to become a coven again when a new witch comes into their powers. Sasha attempts to create a new life for herself, but relationships shift and slip and her past always has a grip on her. She's not the only witch struggling. After all, can any witch find happiness in a society that binds them?
Thanks for stopping by, and I'm looking forward to sharing more about my book and myself.
