Another list.
Well, it’s been a month, and things have been moved around. It’s been somewhat productive.
Also, we’ve had a title change. Sins of the Father is now Where Home Lies. I handed in this round of edits today, so we’ll see what happens now. I do know that I’m taking some time off of writing (stop laughing!) to reset my brain. I’ve been going non-stop for about two and a half years now. Time for a vacation.
Why are you laughing?
Anyhow, here’s the list. And I promise that I am not starting Blood B...

Freebie Alert!
From May 1st to May 5th, my short story The Rape of Persephone will be FREE on Amazon.

It still amuses me that my one story with no erotic content is consistently my best seller. If you haven’t read it yet, you can grab a copy on the 1st! Or you can pay the dollar and get it now.

New Digs
So, perhaps you might have noticed the new decor?
I upgraded my website, which means changes. Things might be changing a little in places as the dust settles.
There are some other things that will be updating. I’m working on a Patreon site, and trying to figure that out, too. Soon as I have that all settled, I’ll post here.
What do you think of the new website? Suggestions? What works for you? What doesn’t?

3. The first big battle between her and her arch-enemy, the arch-enemy realizes that while...
