Hannah republished the first three books in the series in 2021. Book four, Till It Stops Beating, was published in 2018 by Black Rose Writing.

First drafted during NaNoWriMo and refined over years of world-building, the book launched her publishing career in 2020. She continues to write character-driven fantasy adventures set in the vivid worlds she has created, inviting readers into realms of magic, danger, and discovery.
• Kelly Swan Taylor – Growing up immersed in beloved “Teen” novels, Kelly Swan Taylor now crafts her own sweet stories that bridge the gap between middle grade (MG) and young adult (YA) fiction. From friendship adventures to chilling mysteries and thrillers, all with a sporty twist and a dash of romance, her contemporary novels ignite the imagination while championing the everyday hero.
