Woo hoo! Bolted to the Bone (science-fantasy for the holidays) is out today! #indieauthor #fantasybooks #scifibooks Find it on eBook platforms, including: www.amazon.com/Bolted-Bone-...
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone. This year I launched my Substack and self-published a debut novel; and as I've been using this platform to help self-market both, I greatly appreciate everyone's time and consideration. Thank you all!
