Branwell Brontë’s gift wasn’t writing — it was magic.
My debut story Crimson Ink: A Brontë Tale appears soon in Spellbound.

Running a literary magazine of any kind is a labor of love. Mia and her amazing, supportive team did a gorgeous job with the Ditch Life debut, and I am proud to have a piece included among such lovely, thoughtful, and moving work. What a beautiful way to end the summer.

Our farmhouse is 200 years old, and our contractor found this while digging our new leach field.

Apparently, it brought me some luck. Not long after, I had a story accepted into this beautiful magic and fantasy anthology coming out September 16th.

I'm excited to share more soon!

Autism Hasn’t Destroyed Our Family
Every morning when we pull into the school parking lot, I tell Daphne, my autistic ten-year-old, "You are a sweet, smart, beautiful, wonderful little girl. Daddy and I love you so much."

The boycott is over, I’ve seen some a few authors say sales just dropped, rather than moved to other sites, I hope everyone isn’t back to Amazon this week…

A boycott is chance to find alternatives and use them long term. Short boycotts do little compared to long term change. Ideas below.
