🕯️ The Chicory Salon
An invitation-only advance reader salon
Welcome inside The Chicory Salon — a quiet corner of the House of Chicory where trusted readers are occasionally invited to step behind the scenes and read upcoming stories before they meet the world.
Here, writing and reading become a kind of conversation.
Stories are shaped in solitude, but they are brought to life through the hearts that receive them.
When you join an Advance Reader season, your presence, your thoughts, and your reviews help carry these books into the world and guide them toward the readers who are waiting for them.
Membership is by invitation and shared only through Chrissy’s newsletter and reader community.
Within The Chicory Salon, readers may be invited to join three different Advance Reader Societies — each tied to a story world and its own season of magic:
📅 2026
Throughout 2026, the doors of The Chicory Salon will open during the dates below for each Advance Reader season. Invitations will be shared quietly through Chrissy’s newsletter and reader communities, so you’re welcome to mark the seasons that call to you.
✨ Already Part of the Salon?
If you receive Chrissy’s newsletter, you’re already part of The Chicory Salon. When an invitation is meant for you, it will arrive there — at just the right time.
Those who accept an invitation are warmly encouraged to share their honest thoughts and, when the book is released, to leave reviews wherever books are discovered. In The Chicory Salon, every voice matters, and every reflection becomes part of the story’s journey.

The Inner Circle Behind the Stories
No book is created in a vacuum, and I’m beyond grateful for the incredible talent that helps bring my stories to life. From the polished prose to the immersive narration, my work wouldn’t be the same without them.
A huge thank you to Kimberly Huther, the Polisher of Prose, whose keen editorial eye refines every sentence and strengthens every story. Her expertise ensures that each book is the best it can be. If you’re an author looking for a skilled editor, I highly recommend her.
And to Tricia Murphy, the Voice Behind It All, who transforms my words into an unforgettable listening experience. Her narration brings my characters to life, making audiobooks a true delight. If you’re searching for a talented voice actor, you can find her on ACX.
I couldn’t do this without them, and if you’re a writer looking to take your work to the next level, you couldn’t ask for better professionals to have in your corner!
