It has been over a year since I’ve posted book reviews! But I’ve been reading, so brace yourselves… book recommendations are coming! The Last Motley by DJ Edwardson I discovered this book when it was selected by an online book club. Isn’t the cover magnificent? I was excited to read it, but didn’t know what to expect. There is plenty of adventure and heroism in the book, but in many ways it’s not about the adventure and heroism – it’s about love and family, about choosing to be kind when we don’t feel we have much to offer (and the […]

How are you? What are you reading? We’re trying to get back into the swing of the (home)school year. Giggly is now four, so he’s actually enrolled in our homeschool community rather than just hanging out with me while Wiggly is in class. Both of them love their classmates and teachers, and I love watching them enjoy learning! My friend JA Andrews is re-releasing her epic fantasy A Threat of Shadows for only $0.99! This is an expanded 2nd edition including a map, artwork, and a bonus short story called “The Black Horn,” which originally appeared in the Still Waters anthology. The second book in this series […]

Thank you for voting on the release date of Twelve Days of (Faerie) Christmas! 57% of the votes were for the “as soon as it’s done” option, so I’ll be releasing it sometime in February! I’m going to do something a little different this time, though. As soon as I’m done editing it, I’ll release it with the current (temporary) cover, available only directly from me. When the real cover is ready, I’ll update that listing on Gumroad and everyone who purchased it can get a copy with the updated cover at no additional cost. I’ll release it on other retailers about a […]
