As an avid SFF reader, that consumes way more books than I have shelf space for, I thought it was time I turn my hand to being a novelist.

I wrote my first novel a few years ago, which has yet to see the light of day (nor ever will), and found that writing is in my blood, my passion, so I’ve stuck to it.

Quotes by D.A. Smith (?)

“[T]here isn't anything worth losing your mind for. And if things become too complicated or too stressful—let it go. I don’t care if it’s a job, a woman, man, child or beast—if it’s too much for you and it’s causing you too much pressure to the point where you are thinking about committing suicide? Let it go.”
