We haven’t been active lately, so far we’ve wrote in total of 10446 words for Pixels & Potions, found a title for our second novel and is called Hook on Murder. Got a new job over at Target, finished a temperature blanket and went to a GalaxyCon with my girlfriend.

Oblivion’s Hymn blurb:
Morally grey female best friends-a bard and a blood mage-venture across the world looking for ways to keep the boons of their divine bargains without paying the price…but the gods’ lives depend on squaring their deals. One way or another, they’ll get what they’re owed.

Behold a new title for my novel

You are an assassin but with a soft soul. You love crocheting, writing, listening to music of any genre and your pet is a teacup Pomeranian. You donate half of your money for children in need, animals, and climate change. What made you become an assassin?
