MAYBE MOVE MOUNTAINS

Forest faerie Maeve Blackmoss has lived her entire life under her father's tight control within their family estate. When her arranged engagement falls apart, her mother urges her to break free and forge her own path.

As Maeve ventures beyond the confines of Blackward, she encounters a world simmering with tension between humans and the fae. Both sides have blood on their hands, both committing atrocities that only widen the divide. Despite the danger, Maeve finds refuge from her father in a human-run holiday resort on picturesque Mount Elthorne. To ensure her safety, she must hide her faerie identity by masking her faerie appearance with a glamour at all times.

Trouble arises when Maeve becomes close to Cian Caffrey, a human who's temporarily working at the resort while visiting the country on a year-long visa. As her feelings for Cian grow, Maeve is faced with the challenge of keeping her true nature hidden while falling in love.

Josie's fascination with faeries began in her childhood backyard in New Zealand. As a child of the 90s, she would spend hours outside, imagining that the faeries lived in the small grass "lodges" formed by the piles of cut grass left behind by the lawn mower.

Those childhood daydreams have evolved into her debut novel, Maybe Move Mountains, the first book in the Tales of Orland series.
