Okay, but what if I don't like my free trial of 2026?

My reset authors are Jane Austen and Tolkien. The beginning of Emma and chapter 7 of the Hobbit are comfort foods my brain always needs.
My reset author is Ken Follett. I’ve read so many of his - always love them - and there’s so many still awaiting me 🙂‍↔️
My reset author is always KJ Charles. Whether I’m coming off a great book hangover, or a flop, she brings me back home.

The timber frame done in 5the old style, the dark brown posts, the jettying storeys bowing to the floors below, the chimney parting the stone tile roof. It looked as though it had emerged from the ground and the town had been built up around it.

Well, everything hasn't quite worked. LIGHTNING RUNES has slipped to April 16 for ebook and April 28 for dead trees. But you can still preorder. You won't be charged till it's out.
News! We got news!

LIGHTNING RUNES, the next one after TWICE AS DEAD, is available for preorder! Coming next March (if everything works). A vampire who was a Lightning Runes officer gives Jack Mitchell more trouble than he really needs.

The rich oak beams and damask walls upheld a vaulted ceiling so high even Darren had to look up to see it. Long wooden tables cut from raw wooden planks wreathed the open hall, a fire roared before a red satin sofa, and books of varying colours and sizes garlanded every shelf.

I stand amongst the highest quality writers and the year is just starting. 😊

The stories include a lovely poem by Rita and huggable characters by @michellefranklin.bsky.social.

I am so excited I can hardly find the words. 🤩

Three-legged racing.
How else can professors prove "merit" besides SAT scores? Wrong answers only. I'll go first: ability to do sixth-grade geometry homework (two professors in my house fail)
