| This new book and series comes out tomorrow. I think readers of Muirwood and Mirrowen will especially like this series. It has those vibes and you’ll see some connections which will be explained in future books in this series. | |

Thanks Amelia! Very kind of you to say and I wish you well with your writing. Thanks for reaching out.
Jeff, Just wanted to let you know the Muirwood books are among my favorites, and helped push me over the edge to decide to write myself. I was deeply inspired by the way you weaved themes into your story and characters so successfully. I've a lot of respect for you and your writing, as well as your efforts in self publishing. I can't wait to read your new book!
Amelia
