(I'm late by 1 day shhhh) It's now officially been one whole year since I published my first book!!! I honestly can't believe I managed to publish three books in just one year...whew. And of course I've got plenty more where that came from! Thank you all SO much for being here through it all. ❤️

Fun fact: this is the real-life amulet from Our Dark Mirror! It’s an heirloom from my great grandfather, who used to wear it everywhere. A lot of people ask me about it when I’m out and about, so I figured it would be a fun inspiration for the ODM-verse!

Escapism reading is nice, don’t get me wrong…but I prefer reading stories where the bad shit still exists, but the characters get to do something about it.
