Guys, I read 15 books in May and I still don't know how (because several of them were over 700 pages long). Am I insane? Probably.

I'm expanding my Discord channel to be a fun hangout for all of us - book chats, bonus WIPs, and inside looks! I'd love to see you there - PS, shoot me an email and let me know what other things you'd like to see there. I'm open to anything!

Bonus Artwork

I've been a little lacking on the art side of things, but I thought I'd share a few things I've been working on lately!

We've got some surprise kisses from Star Collapsed (Kiya and Ryder) and then a delightful feature on Brela from my new Kindle Vella project (hopefully Amazon will be releasing that in late June).

Kiya and Ryder (can anyone guess what scene this is?)

Testing out a new shading technique for Brela and Night Carver (her blade)

You can start reviewing The Stolen Lives, Star Collapsed, and Soul Forgotten - and if you email me a screenshot of those reviews from Amazon, I'll send you the next book in the series in exchange for another honest review!

Do you guys have any plans this weekend? The hubs and I have a gathering with our friends on Saturday - hopefully soaking up some sun before thunderstorms drown the rest of our weekend plans.0
