Fall has been creeping steadily closer, and with it comes good news. I have (finally!) regained the rights to Book 1 of the Donovan Family Saga, WHISPERS IN THE CANYON, and will be releasing it in both ebook and print in October. By the time you get my next newsletter, the ebook will be available … Continue reading WHISPERS IN THE CANYON update!
