New blurbs and an interview
First of all, I recently did an interview with Elizabeth Baxter on her blog, Small Blonde Hippy. In it, I discuss Star Wanderers, Stars of Blood and Glory, and a bit about my path to becoming an indie author. You can find it here–go check it out! Second, in preparation for the new ebook versions of… Continue reading New blurbs and an interview

He’s great to work with and does some seriously awesome work, so… Continue reading New cover for Bringing Stella Home!
