I’m putting together a list of Advanced-Advanced Review copies for He Who Ate the Wild. Shinto-inspired dark fantasy (Princess Mononoke X Demon Slayer) is the quick pitch. These AARCs have already gone through beta, and will be sent prior to the full soft launch.

I talk about my novel, The Envoys of War, a lot. This evening, let’s show a bit of love to my darker prequel novella, The Pawns of Havoc. Check out what some of my readers have had to say! They’re all pretty awesome. I’m eternally thankful to them for giving my books a chance!

An amazing feeling, especially as @OdyllicThe and I have been in the same boat, though a few months apart 😅😅 My usual advice not to read anything from Alex without either eating first or taking a hearty snack hopefully still applies 😁 #SecretScribes
This last year has been a struggle for me with lots of learning and new responsibilities that made time management difficult since the birth of my first child. But I've finally got some exciting news... I've finished the first draft of my next book and I can't wait to share it.

The Willow Wraith Book Club Reading may often be a solo “sport” but I think it’s a lot of fun to read a book along with a group. Discussing my thoughts with others after reading something is always...
