New look, same stormy chemistry.

Alternate cover for Salt Spray and Sweet Trouble... and this one might just be my favorite yet. What do you think?

Which version do you prefer: the original or this sunset sail? a.co/d/ia0ELGr

Elliot never wanted to be a hero. Dragged from Earth into a kingdom on the edge of war, he became something far stranger.

I’m deep into writing Book 2. Expect new allies, enemies, and deeper secrets behind his gift.

Book 1 is available on Amazon.

Happy Sunday! I'm happy with my output this week. A new story on Patreon, 6 books for sale on Amazon, and a commissioned story sent to a very happy patron.

Now, back to Heart Mage and I'm excited to share this visual of Mira, who's been living in my imagination all week...

I'm super excited how well the cover came out for Heart Mage Book 1. Elliot and the two worlds he has to navigate. The little details around the edge too.

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. I have some stories to edit (as always) and two major posts going live on Patreon this week.

James was defeated - his job, his relationship, his entire life seemed to be in a tailspin. Finding himself alone on a Friday night, he couldn't bear the thought of returning to his empty apartment. Then it started raining.

The Ember Lantern goes live tomorrow.
