Hi! Hey! Hello!

Courtney Hickling is the author behind the upcoming The Missing Reflection, the first book in a planned Hexwood Chronicles series. This supernatural mystery plunges a skeptical journalist into a world of hidden magic and ancient forces. Her debut novel draws readers into a spine-chilling journey amidst the dark academia vibe of Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House and the suspenseful atmosphere of Simone St. James' thrillers.

A veteran and military spouse currently stationed in North Carolina, Courtney brings a unique perspective to her writing. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing, an MA in New Media Journalism, and an MBA, equipping her with the tools to craft immersive, emotionally grounded stories. With extensive experience in instructional design, content creation, and technical writing, her expertise lies in translating complex ideas into compelling, accessible content.

Join Courtney as she uncovers the secrets lurking behind the glass in small-town America, where the line between the magical and the mundane is ever so thin.
