When I say that I'm very lucky to have the best creative team as an indie author, this is what I mean. My good friend and very skilled artist made these maps, and they're just...amazing. My world just came to life in his hands.
I can't wait to share A Bond of Blood and Stone with you soon!

Wicked: For Good...y'all are not ready. My poor little Pisces heart was broken, as I knew it would be. What a true powerhouse of emotions, with terrific performances, a vastly more coherent story, and knockout performances from everyone.
Allllll the teaaaaarrrssss....

So, my very good friend is kindly putting together a couple of maps for A Bond of Blood and Stone, and today was the first time that I saw the rough version. It's already amazing, and I can't wait to see the final version this week!

others there were moved by and thought it had potential. So...maybe I'm going to start writing poetry?

Happy Saturday, everyone! For today's edition of Omnivorous I reviewed the third and fourth episodes of King & Conqueror, which I continue to find a really compelling, and very tragic, pierce of period storytelling.

As I continue copyedits for my queer Appalachian romantasy, I continue to fall more and more in love with the cover. It captures so much about what I love about this story: the moodiness, the imminent political violence, the pulsing desire between the two MCs.
I can't wait for release day!
