The fifth is coming out in just three weeks, and I can't wait to share the end with you. Remember: Once upon a time, there were no more happy endings. _____ With the hopes of the faerie realm turned to dust, Alva Viola Taverner and Hector Henry Featherson

THE FAERIES HAVE STRUCK!
I giggled when I noticed that Amazon seemed to think Nigh should be categorized in Biographies & Memoirs. I write a convincing faerie-apocalypse, I told myself. WELL IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE! Because it might be true. Nigh 4 has been struck with a string of unfortunate events that slowed down production. Instead of releasing a sub-standard product (gasp!), we'll finish it off

Stories of Nigh Show Preview
Nigh 3 is coming out tomorrow! I'm so excited!!! *launches confetti rocket* Nigh 3 is the midpoint of the serialized novel. Well, sort of. BWA HA HA HA!

Extroversion Explosion
If you've ever met me in person and even if you aren't an extremely astute person, you may have noticed that I definitely possess a strong penchant for extroversion.
