Arthurian legend isn’t just battles and crowns.
It’s love, betrayal, longing, destiny, sacrifice.

Once and Future Hearts tells the whole tapestry — from before Arthur is even born, to the final fall of Camelot.

The Kickstarter opens in 3 days.

Every Kickstarter has a moment where possibilities turn into decisions.
This week, I wrote about what we locked in for Once and Future Hearts — and why restraint mattered more than sparkle.

Why We Still Sell Books Face-to-Face
One of the things I learned back when I worked in sales — back when phones had cords and optimism was still legal — was this: Never make the decision for the customer.

I’ve spent years with Once and Future Hearts, guarding Tracy’s voice, wrangling continuity, and gently pointing out when she’d resurrected someone she killed two books ago.
I wrote about the whole experience — plus the upcoming hardcover Kickstarter — here:
