In anticipation of The Seven Rings, I’m happy to share the Poole Family tree for your reference.
The Brides are in the Magenta blocks, the Poole family members are in the blue boxes and the pink boxes are spouses outside the Poole family.

I’ll open the discussion thread first thing in the morning!

We’re one week out from The Mirror release and so far, the top 2 questions are:
When will we get the last book? (The Seven Rings will be out November 2025)
And, is there going to be a playlist of Clover’s musical communications?
Why yes, there is. When I did my first read of The Mirror, I kept a notepad and pen at hand and wrote down every song as it happened. Sometimes, I went overboard and noted down music OTHER characters played, but my friend Marissa at St. Martin’s Press kept me in line.
Nora told me that one of the most time consuming parts of The Mirror’s first draft (besides writing the draft) was finding the right song for each moment. I think you’ll that work really paid off.
Without further ado, here’s Clover’s Clever Playlist, part 2 on Spotify f- featuring 110 songs that will entertain you for hours.

And this is the safe space to discuss all details about the second entry in The Lost Brides Trilogy.
So, what did you think? Beware, spoilers are allowed here.

We’re 67 days away from November 19 when The Mirror — book 2 in The Lost Brides Trilogy — hits shelves and e-readers.
I know there were questions at the end of Inheritance. I can assure you that many of them are answered in The Mirror. For everyone who wants a peek at some of those answers, I’m happy to share the excerpt today.
First, here’s the official description:
When Sonya MacTavish inherits the huge Victorian mansion on the coast of Maine, she has no idea that the house is haunted. The footsteps she hears at night, the doors slamming, the music playing, are not figments of her imagination. In her dreams she sees glimpses of the past. In the present she finds portraits of brides. And when she has visions of an antique mirror, she is drawn to it, sensing it holds dark family secrets.
Then one night the mirror appears and Sonya glides through this looking glass, into the past—and sees a bride murdered on her wedding day, the circle of gold torn from her finger. It is a scene that will play out again and again—a centuries-old curse that must be broken—and a puzzle she must solve if there is any hope of breaking the curse.

Going to throw my Cranky Publicist hat on for a sec: we have to remember to trust Nora to tell the story her way. Because it always ends up being a really fun ride.
Enjoy!
