While you’re waiting…[Novel excerpt]

March 24, 2016

Hello readers! Wanted to check in again today. I have a few things to report on BLOOD OF THE WINDMAKER, but I want to go through it again first before I make any decisions or commit to anything. So instead of an update on that front, I thought I would share a scene from my new … More While you’re waiting…[Novel excerpt]
