Website Update Complete!

Hi, Folks!

I’ve worked hard to create an easy to navigate and discoverable website 🙂 It’s now complete. I’m pleased with how it turned out, but need for you to let me know if I need to fix something! So please let me know if you see anything off or missing. Thanks!

My book The Patron (available for pre-order now and will go live on Amazon on 12/10/22) is part of the Philanthropists series.
