Epic Saga. Epic Savings.

It’s been 12 years since the release of my debut novelette, Before the Legend. It marked the start of a long and eventful self-publishing journey, leading to the release of my how-to guide: How to Self-Publish Without Going Broke (2020), before releasing my next book, the 2nd book in The Legend Series: Roman Identity (2021).

This Cyber Weekend, we’re going all out with these epic sales!
