      <image:caption>Chapter by chapter, as she ventures deeper into the mist, Aislin learns crucial lessons that resonate deeply with her and, I hope, with all of you reading along. She discovers that she will never solve the problems on Lodestar Island with cruelty or hatred. To do that and lift the curse on Frostglen, she must muster up more empathy and compassion than she ever could have known.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - My Proof Copies of Shapeless Have Arrived! - There are a lot of things I like about being an independent author, but I think my favorite part of the self-publishing process might be the day that the first round of proof copies gets delivered. We’re getting closer to the release of Shapeless!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Introducing the Cover of Shapeless - I am so excited to reveal this!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Prince Caliban of Lodestar graces the front cover of Shapeless, the second novel in the Lighthouses of Lodestar trilogy. His role in Crafters of Light was little more than a cameo, but the son of King Archibald stands tall and proud here, surrounded by the light of his Beacon. I can’t wait to share Shapeless with you—it’s hard for me to believe that the release is just a few months away!</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - M.P. Hill</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born and raised in Ohio, I spend most of my time teaching social studies, gaming with my friends, writing novels, running Frostglen Publishing, and trying to catch up on the never-ending backlog of books I’d like to read. This year (2026), my goal is to read 40 classics! I live with my wife and our cats, who never let things get too dull!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For countless generations, a supernatural mist has shrouded the sleepy village of Frostglen in a deadly haze of water and magic. Little is known of its origins. Few dare to plumb its depths; it spawns monstrous phantoms to feed on those bold enough to make the attempt. Only the legendary phantom hunters dare to stand between these predators and their innocent prey. As a seventeen-year-old trainee, Aislin of Frostglen dreams of joining their ranks, despite her near-sightedness. But everything falls apart before she can complete her final test. Just when it looks like she might finally achieve her goal, a phantom attack leaves a deadly curse on her loved ones. A curse the phantom hunters are powerless to stop. Desperate, Aislin abandons her dream and leaves Frostglen to chase rumors of a forbidden, magical remedy. Aided by a disgraced ex-soldier and a cunning thief, she will soon be forced to make the most difficult choice of her life: just how far is she willing to go to save those she loves?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The world outside of Frostglen is not what Aislin had hoped it would be. Dangerous, unwelcoming, and mysterious threats lurk around every corner. To lift the curse gripping her family, Aislin must now complete the speaker’s quest and find the Lumenstone, an ancient lodestone critical to unlocking the secrets of the lighthouses of Lodestar. It won’t be easy. The whispers in the mist are louder than ever, and Prince Caliban casts a long shadow over her while he carries out his own schemes from afar. She cannot save her village without the Lumenstone, but finding it may have more severe consequences than she’d ever dreamed of...</image:caption>

      <image:title>Clearing the Mist - Book Three of the Lighthouses of Lodestar trilogy, Clearing the Mist, is available for purchase as of 12/30/22!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lodestar burns. Idon, the monster in the mist, has come for the city and the four lighthouses surrounding it. This is the moment she has waited decades for. She whispers to the planters, promising them the freedom and equality they have long desired… if they will aid her cause. Amidst the chaos of an open rebellion, Aislin, Caliban, and Pierre race to thwart Idon’s plans and banish the mist for good. The Beacons are the key to unlocking the secrets of the lighthouses of Lodestar, but using them will not be enough to heal the festering wounds Idon has torn open. Just as the fight against the phantoms reaches its finale, the battle for the future of the world begins.</image:caption>
