Hi, Kristen. We've me on Romance Divas. Great to be friends with a fellow author. Indie Book Collective looks like an interesting site.

I'm going to download Flesh & Blood on to my kindle today. :)

Hi Kristen. Thanks for 'friending' me. I have written in the fantasy genre too, in my collection of short stories called 'Facets of Fantasy'. I hope our paths cross often on Goodreads.
