Another Autumn Lands Blog Tour Stop

Wicked Faerie

Thanks so much to Chris at Wicked Faerie’s Tales and Reviews for hosting my blog tour. For this one, Chris asked me to talk about my inspiration for writing characters: Thanks to Chris for welcoming me to Wicked Faerie’s Tales.

More Stops on the Travels Through the Scarlet Equinox Blog Tour!

We’re moving right along! Yesterday, we appeared on the Prism Book Alliance blog with a blog post by me about how we chose the title: What’s in a book title?
