Hey !Author UpdateI'm pleased to say that the first draft for Elf Blooded has reached just over 81%. The past few weeks have been really productive which I am very grateful for. With all the craziness of life and kids and homestead, I've managed to s...

Hey there!I'll be shifting the format of the email just a little bit. Everything that's been a part of my emails will still be there, but I wanted to give some new things a try for organization sake. Author UpdateThe August short story is out! I had...
