Alchemy Maiden Publishing
Books for readers drawn to mystery, meaning, reinvention, and the stories beneath the surface.
Alchemy Maiden Publishing is the independent publishing imprint of The Alchemy Maiden, created to publish fiction, nonfiction, audio stories, journals, and creative works across several connected author worlds.
From the emotionally grounded women’s fiction and Sacred & Sceptical nonfiction of Jennifer Irene Stewart to cozy mysteries, crime drama, supernatural suspense, paranormal mystery, and darker tales from genre pen names, each book has its own doorway.
Some stories are tender.
Some are strange.
Some arrive with teacups, bookshops, gardens, ghosts, secrets, crime scenes, or old wounds refusing to stay buried.
But all of them share a common thread: atmosphere, emotional depth, mystery, transformation, and characters standing at the edge of what they thought they knew.
About Alchemy Maiden Publishing
Alchemy Maiden Publishing is the independent publishing imprint of The Alchemy Maiden, created to publish fiction, nonfiction, audio stories, journals, and creative works across several connected author worlds.
The imprint began with the writing of Jennifer Irene Stewart, whose work explores women’s fiction, sacred scepticism, healing after survival mode, and the quiet search for joy after fifty. But Alchemy Maiden Publishing is also home to other genre voices, including cozy mystery, crime drama, supernatural suspense, paranormal mystery, and darker stories that explore the strange corners of human nature.
Each author name has its own doorway.
Each genre has its own shelf.
But the books all share a common atmosphere: layered characters, emotional stakes, mystery, transformation, and stories that look beneath the surface of ordinary life.
Alchemy Maiden Publishing is for readers who love books with mood, meaning, secrets, second chances, strange turns, and the slow unraveling of what people carry.
Some stories are soft.
Some are sharp.
Some arrive with teacups and bookshops.
Some arrive with crime scenes, ghosts, secrets, or old wounds refusing to stay buried.
All of them belong here.
What We Publish
Women’s Fiction & Reflective Fiction
Emotionally honest novels about friendship, grief, belonging, midlife, healing, and learning how to live after years of simply getting through.
Sacred & Sceptical Nonfiction
Grounded nonfiction and essays that question spiritual clichés, toxic positivity, forced meaning, guru culture, and the pressure to turn every wound into a lesson.
Cozy Mystery
Atmospheric mysteries with bookshops, small towns, secrets, sharp women, warm humour, and just enough danger to keep the kettle nervous.
Crime Drama & Suspense
Character-driven stories about secrets, justice, human behaviour, moral pressure, and the choices people make when the truth starts circling the room.
Supernatural Crime & Paranormal Mystery
Mystery, crime, folklore, ghosts, witches, curses, old houses, strange inheritances, and the uneasy feeling that not everything in the room is alive.
