Book Review: Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson
I am a huge fan of Brandon Sanderson’s novels. I really should post more reviews of them, but when I first started reading his work, they were considered adult fantasy fiction.

Why is Gryphon Misspelled in Gryphendale? by Lara Lee
Gryphendale, the first book in the Legends of Gryphendale series, was published in 2016. Since then, I have had many people try to correct the spelling of that title, which is also the name of the fairy world in my book. I have stubbornly fought back against this “correction.” My stubbornness has probably cost me […]
