I wrote all of these tropes while sitting in my comfy chair, tap-tapping at my thocky keyboard, and drinking my beverage of choice. You can find them in Speak with the Dead, my debut epic fantasy inspired by Lord of the Rings and Dungeons & Dragons. #indieauthor #fantasyauthor #fantasy #tropes

Had a blast at the Michigan Renaissance Festival! It was muddy and a little rainy, but we still got to see knights jousting and strong men throwing heavy things (the Irish Heavy Games)!

Immerse yourself in mysterious ruins in the woods, or a vast, dark castle that breathes, or a ship sailing the coast at night. Find yourself in the midst of fierce sword fights, puzzling court intrigue, or peaceful forest campfires. Count birds, or omens. #fantasybooks #action #adventure #quest

Hey, if you have an "exciting opportunity" for an indie author, please state how much it's going to cost the indie author and if you need free copies of their book from the beginning, thanks! Most of us can't afford to spend hundreds and provide free copies willy-nilly!

This is how much I spent to self-publish Speak with the Dead! I am so, so fortunate and privileged to be able to afford these costs, but also be aware that authors self-publish for much less all the time. This is just what worked for me and my budget. #indieauthor #selfpublished #debutbook

Dark campfires deep in the woods, castles on high cliffs over the sea, dilapidated ruins in the middle of nowhere, counting birds and shouting crows. The feeling of falling through tree branches and grabbing for them, only to have them cut you as you drop by. Speak with the Dead #fantasybooks

Will and Anna 💚 What happens when a sarcastic, mysterious, self-reliant, and roguish half elf meets a curious, independent, tenacious, and candid human? You get a slow burn that you can't wait to be held in suspense by. These two give me goosebumps. #fantasybooks #indieauthor #romance
