A Stormy Path Map Edits
The map for the Sparks Shall Rise series is always in a state of being updated book to book. When I need to tell my designer what edits to make, I upload the map into Paint and add or erase whatever I need to. And then Miblart makes my rough drawings prettier.

A Stormy Path Map
This is the updated map featured in A Stormy Path, illustrated by Miblart. I decided to add things like structure drawings to make more room for other text. And the drawings add more charm to the map. I also realized that I never had a name for the ocean, so that was added.

World Poetry Day 2024
Happy World Poetry Day! This is a poem pulled from my third book, A Stormy Path. I had mentioned in Reawakened Flames that Aria likes to write poetry, but I never featured any poems. So I made sure to expand on that idea in the third book.
Today was actually another stormy day, so the poem works perfectly.

A Stormy Path Release
Sparks Shall Rise: A Stormy Path is out! Available in eBook, paperback, and for the first time, hardcover. The first two books are also now available in hardcover. I am so happy with how the story turned out. I struggled with it but ended up coming up with more than I originally envisioned. The paperback is only on Amazon right now but will be on other retailers in a few weeks. The eBook will also be on more retailers soon. It is also ironic that on the release of this book, a severe thunderstorm rolled through. It’s actually still thundering as I’m posting this.
