I write dark urban fantasy about outsiders, monsters, mystery and just a bit of action. 'Blood in the Dust' is my debut novel, the first in the Yip Jones Adventures series, and the first in the greater world of The Slipworld Chronicles.

Indie/self-published authors don't have that advantage.

Do we do it because our books aren't 'good enough' for trad publishing?

"This book made me cry in the first ten minutes then it made me sad and mad. Tough times for Yip and the crew but they pull thru. It’s at times tough read but worth it "
Blood on the Ferns by Selena Reid
