One great part of writing your second book is rereading your first and seeing your growth as a writer. A terrible part of writing your second book is rereading first and cringing at all the things you would word differently. #yafantasy #yafantasyautthor #yafantasybooks #foundfamily #yafantasyseries

Next book is coming along great! I don't expect a lot of updates on here over the next months due to work life, family, holidays, and fitting in book editing. However, I expect to have plenty of news and sneak peaks starting early in 2025!

Setting Quote from award-winning young adult fantasy novel, The Bloodgrove Apprentice.
Bloodgrove has been my favorite place to write. I love how something that sounds so brutal, is filled with so many beautiful souls.
