THE CITY OF STONE & SORROW is officially published!!!! :D

Hello everyone!
No, I'm not dead lol I know I haven't been on here much but that is because I've been working on book two.
Which is publishing this coming Monday!!!! (7/24)

It is currently available for pre-order wherever books are sold! So grab your copy and buckle up! The Feels Train is coming.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to let you know that book two in my trilogy, The City of Stone & Sorrow, is currently on Kickstarter and the campaign has about 3 days left in it. We're just under the halfway mark (48%) and I'm reaching out to everyone who has read and reviewed book one to let them know there's still time to order a signed copy :)

Good morning everyone!

The Pre-Order Campaign is now LIVE for The City of Stone & Sorrow!!!!!

Head on over and check out the perks and pick your pre-order tier.

We're aiming to get 30 orders in the first 24hrs because it really helps boost the promotion on Kickstarter.

I'm currently writing chapter 30 of The City of Stone & Sorrow, draft one!!! I got stuck on it the other day because there are so many events taking place over a 12hr period within the book (it's intense), and trying to sync up some of those things was... challenging lol

Making some really good progress, and I cannot wait until we're finished and dive into revisions!!! :D

I'm creating this update for the first draft of my second book. Right now, I just finished writing chapter 25 of an estimated 50!

This book is likely going to be longer than book one as we dig deeper into the characters and the world :D

The first big story in this is Beowulf, and it's my first time reading through it. Very interesting this far!

I'm pretty sure someone is about to die or get physically and emotionally scarred. I'm okay with either.

I GOT MY HARDCOVERS!!! And man do they look purdy. That it all haha <3

Finally getting back to this book! Started it a while ago and life got nutters. Can't wait to dive back in!

I'm convinced at this point everyone is going to die. Legit every single character in this book XD lol

I'm only a few chapters in, but I am loving the world-building in this book!
