RELEASE DAY: Steelflower in Snow
Kaia Steelflower meant to spend her winter resting, but the high price upon the head of her barbarian companion Redfist has drawn her out of safety and through the northern passes to the Highlands.

Book-Sausage
We're in the home stretch for Steelflower in Snow, which means I'm waiting for a proof copy to arrive before I finish its listing.

Solace and Camouflage
© | Dreamstime Stock Photos The nights are finally cool enough to leave a window open and sleep through. Trees are burning their summer leaves, letting them drop, and emerging naked from the fire. Rain lingers though the afternoons warm; the ground is damp. The Great Pumpkin approaches. I can’t wait. My favorite time of …
