Holy September, Batman! I LOVE autumn... normally. But this is not "normal" autumn. It's "NEW normal" autumn. Usually, it's back-to-school sales for new notebooks, that crisp leaves smell while apple picking, donning a scarf to hunt pumpkin spice baked goods... Now it's Zoom and homeschooling, apple-cider candles inside, and... okay, that last one may still happen at my house because coronabaking is an addiction (bad for my waistline; good one for my taste buds.)

Is anyone else going a bit crazy? Of course, I respect and understand the reasons for caution (I am a sicentist). But I often struggle with things out of my control, which is why I like authoring and especially being an indie author. These days, I get pretty frustrated with not being able to do the things I'd like to.

But there are some exciting things happening amidst the challenges....

Pluse, any signed books you purchase will be DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR (no heavy suitcase). You can also vote for your favorite books and authors for various award categories!

MORTAL SCREAM (Harbingers of Death Book 1), my first co-write with the awesomesauce LeAnn Mason, releases September 8 -- a week EARLIER than planned! (Note: the paperback version WILL be available at the virtual signing!) Early readers are already asking for book 2 (which is in the works! Preorder Fatal Sight here)... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Hot damn!! What a flipping amazing story this is. You automatically jump right in with the first sentence and you’re still in the story with the last sentence. The characters are unique, original, bad ass and just flat out amazing. This is a story that’s a page turner and you want to keep reading it until you finish the book. " ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"You're instantly sucked into the story and it doesn't release you till way after the end." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"This is one of the best books I have read. The characters are life like and so amazing. "

Narrated by the amazing Kate Marcin.

I cannot wait for y'all to hear. And this means you can dive in if you don't have time to pick up the series on your kindle.

OUROBOROS

Updated: Aug 30

Ouroboros is the snake eating its tail which signifies that with an end, so is there a beginning.

I wish the seasons would hurry up and move on. The heat is not wholly to blame for my grumpy days (thanks, 2020), but it doesn't help. However in my writing world, things are moving on!
