I don’t have graphics for them but I’ve got two other projects going. One is a sci-fi retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen. The other I’ll tell you about in another post!

Once she brings him back this time? It will be one time more than the times he died....

#DVParty -- Opening Lines!

I had lost count of how many times Eryk had died. But despite the dread gripping me at the idea of being caught, I had to bring him back. Again. Secretly. I loved him too much to do anything else, even if it directly defied my duties as a Valkyrie.
