Well, not really… There are just too many threads to tie up (plus I conjured up another surprise twist, snicker). I’m not 100% sure yet, but I feel there’s another book after this one. On the one hand, I’m excited to continue the story and give it space to breathe. On the other, I’m dying […]
Spirit Warrior is FINALLY ready!
Nine Months Later Spirit Warrior is Born The first two books, Spirit Hunger and Spirit Elfen, took roughly two months each to write. The third book Spirit Warrior, for some reason, felt like being pregnant. NINE MONTHS, people, NINE MONTHS!!! But I got it done. Finally. And according to my intrepid beta readers, it’s not […]
