We travel to the Land Down Under to meet the latest #FeaturedAuthor on my blog. Carpe Diem Chronicles -- ALANNAH ROBERTS.

Learn more about Alannah and her books here:
ALANNAH ROBERTS – Featured Author
Alannah Roberts—wifey, mum to one beautiful baby girl, fur mum to a battalion of Pomeranians, corporate baddie by day, and aspiring author by night (fueled by crispy Coke Zeros and occasionally questionable decisions). Alannah lives in Australia, but she was born and partially raised in the Philippines. Books have been her escape, her comfort, and her obsession for as long as she can remember.

I’m actually envious of those authors who are named and whose book titles are mentioned by these scammers. The closest I got was Hi Author. I didn’t even warrant the full AI spam treatment. So sad. 😞

The Guild Hunter series ender news just hit my inbox. 😢 I know it’s coming but it still feels shocking to see it confirmed like this. These books, along with the Psy/Changeling series, helped get me through the lockdown. I will always love Nalini for crafting these amazing stories. 🪽
