Raef’s Music

I’ve debated writing about this for a while now. I hesitated giving you access to something so intimately tied to the character I’ve been holding in my heart for nearly two years.

Reading Doldrums

Rarely do I find myself in the middle of a book and discover that I’m not really enjoying it. It’s happened twice in three weeks. I think I’m good at buying books. What I mean by that is I manage my expectations well, understand what kind of books I’m likely to enjoy, and, once reading, […]

In Which I Do Not Tell You What My Main Character Looks Like

This is my series hero, Raef Skallagrim. What's that? You don't see anything?
