Knowing some are conducting a boycott today - particularly in the US - of large companies, I'll be taking any royalties made through sales of my book on 'Zon today and donating them to campaigns.allout.org/donate/

Currently watching: S3 of The White Lotus. S2 of Severance. And I cannot wait for S3 of The Wheel of Time. Television is on fire this year. Sometimes I’m think my drama list is growing faster than my tbr.

On Feb 1st, In Solitude's Shadow is being released with a new cover (as is the rest of the series) but also with extra chapters and a complete rewrite.
It's Wheel of Time meets The Witcher with queer and neurodiverse characters.
This time, the series is now self-published (!!) so please help 🙌🫠
