Just a quick mid-week post. The weather has been horrendous here in the Boston area, but it gave me a little extra time (two extra work-from-home days while we dig out), so I threw together a book trailer for Jezelle: Thief of Forks.

I can at least give myself that credit. It is hard-earned after struggling with self-doubt for years. But I’m not such aContinue reading “Searching for need”
