It’s here! Kindle Vella has finally launched to the public, and with it, our new serial novel Magic Hunters has launched as well. “Our” meaning me and Brad (my husband).

I would not be able to substitute teach, and I was a little worried how our family was going to […]
Read More >The audio book for To Darkness Fled is here! It came out slowly, first in early December on Apple and various other online stores, but Audible didn’t release it until January. It’s fabulous. Gillian Bronte Adams is a narrating genius. She does all the voices, and is so entertaining as a narrator that I smiled […]
Read More >When I decided to indie publish the Thirst Duology, I hired Emily Hendryx to design me two book covers: one for Thirst and one for Hunger.
