You don't need to read the prequel first (oddly enough) to appreciate ASHES. It stands alone. To repeat myself, YAY!

I was flattered by your friend request and found myself intrigued by your profile. Yes, I'm a serious reader and writer and enjoy engaging in dialogues with authors since I've joined goodreads. Perhaps we'll talk soon. Cheers,
