Meet the cast of Wraith and the Revolution!

I have another series spotlight to share today from Willow Wraith Press!

This time it's The Legacy of Boulom by Timothy Wolff, a series that I love. If you'd like to know why I like it so much, check out the full post: willowwraithpress.com/2025/11/13/s...

The author and one of her books...

I chose to showcase Serpentus today because I love this book (I could say that about all of my books, but this is in my top 3 favorites of the 11 I've published.)

The Kickstarter for The Book of Spores will be live tomorrow!

The anthology includes 16 stories that range from sci-fi to fantasy to horror, written by the FanFiAddict and SFF Addicts Podcast teams (including one by me)

Please find my fantasy book review for FanFiAddict of The Scroungers by Thomas J Devens below. An excellent grim novella that weaves multiple POVs in the dark aftermath of a battle. fanfiaddict.com/review-the-s... #fantasybooks #booksky #books 💙📚⚔️🐉

Still playing catch-up with reviews & tonight I'm sharing my barely coherent words over @alixeharrow.bsky.social 's latest book #TheEverlasting.

With thanks to @torbooks.bsky.social for the eARC, will you join me while I add my voice to the chorus lauding this novel?

Here's a snippet from Exile for your Saturday.

Fun fact: I have had both a reader say this story is "too dark" and a review that said it was "not dark enough" in the last month.

It has dark moments, but I have never marketed it as being dark. Read it and decide for yourself...

Did you know Serpentus can be read as either a standalone/intro to my Relics of War series, OR as a supplement to it?

It's one of my favorite things I've ever written (despite its darkness.)

This week's blog was a fun one for me, and something I haven't done before. But since we're headed into the holiday season, I thought I'd share some book/series picks to consider buying for the bookworm(s) in your life.

While I was writing The Caein Legacy, Rynn became one of my favorite side characters. She's an ice mage, and fiercely loyal to those she considers friends.

I redacted the name of the character she's interacting with in this snippet due to spoilers (but iykyk!)
