Celebrating 10 Years of TOTEM
Image credit: Dan Parlante on Pexels.com Ten years ago, I published the first novella in my urban fantasy series, TOTEM. It's still the longest series I've written. I love the unique Inuit myths and lore that I wrapped my characters in, and I often long to return to that world. Yet too many new ideas occupy my muse. To celebrate my ten year book anniversary, I have compiled all nine novellas together into one massive collection. I'm releasing it not only in ebook format, but

Happy Holidays!
I'm in a festive mood this month as we've gotten more snow before Christmas this year than we ever had since we moved to this area decades ago.

I've been concentrating on my contemporary romance pen name this year, and I haven't put out anything else for myself. I intended to write a cozy fantasy LitRPG, but the idea slipped through my fingers. If I don't jump on a story when it's

Throw in some genuine surprises and graphic gore, and you have a tale any DnD player can get behind." GRAB YOUR COPY OF SHUDDER OF SPECTERS HERE!
