What childhood story shaped the way you see the world?
Happy Birthday A.A. Milne! He taught me that the dragon you slay matters less than the hand you hold in the dark. The Veil Saga has monsters, but like the Hundred Acre Wood, it’s built on a simple truth: Friendship is the greatest magic of all.

For #AppreciateADragonDay, I am celebrating Birch. He is a Koth created from dragon blood. Instead of breathing fire, he serves with honor.
He proves that you can look like a monster but have the heart of a hero.

#SundayReflection: God gives us "milk" before "meat." 🥛 We rarely get the full picture of our destiny all at once because we couldn't handle it. Trust the process. If you're in a season of small beginnings, you are being prepared for the feast ahead. #Faith #TheVeilSaga #BookLover

"Yilchaga" means "The Pitied One" - and contact with a yilchaga is strictly forbidden by the Elven Council. But some bonds are stronger than the laws of the elves.

Sitting in a chair for 10 hours isn't great for the back, but not writing? That’s bad for the brain. If I didn't write, I'd be unhealthy. There's just something about the creative process of seeing a story come alive that just speaks to me. #WriterLife #AmWriting #IndieAuthor

Happy 134th Birthday, J.R.R. Tolkien! I post this "evidence" of our meeting every year (created way before AI! ). I like to think the Professor didn't just invent Middle-earth, he just knew how to see through the Veil better than anyone else. #BookLover #JRRTolkien #TheVeilSaga

The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire. If 2025 was difficult, remember: you can't shape cold metal. The trials of this year didn't break you; they forged you for what's coming next.
The forging is done. In 2026, it’s time to wield the blade. Happy New Year! ⚔️

For #MagicMonday, let's talk about genre-blending. I love classic epic fantasy, but I also have a deep passion for mythology and "what-if" historical fiction. So, for #TheVeilSaga, I put them all together.

Some days writing is a struggle; other days there's great satisfaction in a well-placed semicolon. And for the record, here's a writer's confession: I despise the em dash. I'd much rather use a semicolon, a colon, or an ellipsis to get the job done. #WritingCommunity #

Ten years ago, when creating the goblins for The Veil Saga, I was obsessed with understanding how people viewed these often-misunderstood creatures.
How do YOU picture a goblin? Are they mischievous, menacing, or something else entirely? #Worldbuilding #Fantasy #TheVeilSaga
