Happy holidays from us (plus these two little creepy weirdos) to you! The best part of our debut year has been connecting with you: writers, fellow authors, and readers. Thank you for being here. Wishing you peace this holiday season.

I present another book I was an ARC reader for, by @collinsauthors.bsky.social ! Gosh did I love this story. It was light in just the right ways for the mood I was in. Certainly recommended, and while I don't KNOW who your cover artist was.. they earned a raise.

In the Name of Honor
What would you risk to save someone you loved from a fate worse than death? A half-elven princess, grieving the loss of one father and fearing for the other. A loyal guardsman, torn between his oath...

The award-winning Vows & Valor Trilogy brings together the ultimate forged family & exquisite yearning in a high-stakes, page-turning saga. Perfect for readers who love the LOTR fellowship if led by a woman, the unfailing romance in The Princess Bride, and a cheese thief.

Did a perfume company catch my money because they advertised a scent as having the essence of an elven warrior queen?

Yes, yes they did.
