4 is getting more into books and Noseferatu by @sawyergreen.bsky.social has always been a favorite.
I had the pleasure of backing this kick starter and we've enjoyed many readings of it.
Eventually she'll know the right words 🤣

The Shadow King is the main villain in my #gatesofdestiny #fantasy series.

I LOVE a good ball or dance scene. I have one written into Desiccate during the Winter Festival.
