Spring of 2021 was when I began writing a labour of love: #ChildrenOfAbel. I finished the 1st draft in August of 2024, all of it handwritten.
To see it now—ready to be released to the world—it’s been quite the journey.

She survived, believing it to be the worst night of her life.
She was dead wrong.

Summer Quinn wants to live her best life. Aware that sometimes involves hard choices, she makes one; only to learn not just the hard way, but the horrible way that not everyone agrees with her decision.
And they intend to make her pay.

I launched “Buy Me a Coffee”; a month ago; heartfelt thanks to everyone who has done so!
It being a month, I’ve added a new story (and fixed the previous ones) in #BuyMeaCoffee; this one a horror-tinged fantasy tale titled “Heartless”! Available for the price of a cup of coffee!
