She/her. Fantasy author and book mage. Fae trap expert and by that I mean I am actively looking to get trapped by the fae.
Of Beast and Burden out now, book two coming as soon as these kids leave me alone for like five minutes.

I read in snatches: on my lunch break, while I'm cooking, after the kids are settled for the night. I listen to audiobooks while I'm driving or cleaning. Taking whatever I can get. Tomorrow is a snow day, so I'm hoping for some extra cozy chapters. 💙📚 #booksky

Can you tell me, sir, if my prose is alive?

Books are windows and mirrors and we need both equally.
Public Libraries can be wonderful places where children and adults can find books that they can see themselves reflected in, no matter who they are, and books that can introduce them to entire other lived experiences. Both are so valuable!
