I love coming up with new characters and giving them an arc. Out of everything that goes into writing a book, character development is my favorite.

It took me months to find starter packs with the bookish community here. Hello, and so glad I found you!

Happy New Year. I hope this is the year we all get transported to a world where dragons exist and magic is abundant.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope your day is filled with peace, love, and laughter.

This is my series. Book 3, Crowns and Curses, is set to release December 30th and is available for preorder on Amazon. All are on Kindle Unlimited.

Congratulations! For me, it’s like a never ending rollercoaster ride. It’s fun, then terrifying, exciting, exhausting, and back to fun. When the ride is over, I restart the process.

Thanks. I was terrified to post on the hellscape place so never got my account off the ground. I like what I see here so far.

So true.

Hello! I’m an author who writes fantasy with a little romance and what some consider humor. I’m also an avid reader. How’s the bookish community here?
