I'm incredibly honored to be a part of this anthology, the theme of which is invisible illness. As a spoonie, the phrase "See me as I am" is our constant entreaty to society. All of the profits will be donated to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Pre-orders go live in a week!

My Token of a Wolf Campaign got the Project We Love designation on Kickstarter!
Token of a Wolf is a Little Red Riding Hood inspired urban romantic fantasy.
What if the Big, Bad Wolf wasn't actually the villain? And what if Little Red found herself allying with him... and even falling for him?

I am (im)patiently waiting for two new bookish art commissions I'm so excited for, both for Token of a Wolf. Just over a week until the Kickstarter launches! I can't wait for everyone to meet The Wolf, Roux, and Ben. 😍
