Happy book birthday to Defy, Book One of the Firstborn trilogy!

My book trailers were created by a friend of mine, Erin, who dabbles in video and has a [...]

Don’t Miss the DEFY Trailer and a Chance for Great Swag!
Ahh, swag. Just the word has my imagination leaping! Bringing to mind strapping, swashbuckling pirates stowing their ill-gotten loot in mysterious lairs, swag was simply a must-have once I became a published author. Of course, swag costs money.
