All I want for Christmas is for you to read The Monsters Among Us!

I spent six years writing this deeply immersive dark fantasy novel, a book that dares to empower neurodivergent people in a world that so often condescends to them, and knocks them down.

"storytelling is graceful, poignant, and rooted firmly in historical reality. Yet it is her emotional insight—her ability to step into the heart and mind of a woman repeatedly vilified by history—that makes this novel especially compelling."

Want a fun #fantasy with dragons, magic, and humor?

Try The Return of Innocence.

To be compared in a breath to the mighty Myles is an accolade only Christmas could bring.
#PickoftheDay is a fine piece from one of the most distinctive voices in our community. A true heir to Flann O'Brien, Sean McNulty serves up another slice of well-written whimsy, The Everlasting Hoax.
Do please share if you like it too.
