Knaplingers, I’m pleased and quite relieved to let you know that I self-published my second novella, Grace and her Arrows! Book books are allegorical fantasy with themes of family relationships, trust in what you can’t see, loneliness, and the deceitfulness of evil. If you haven’t read the first one yet, no worries! Mercy and her Shield, my first…[Read more]

Guys, I apologize. I was supposed to announce this Monday, but there was a shooter situation right by my house (all safe) and in the craziness I totally forgot.

But there is a prompt war, due Sept 1 if we’d like to participate. 2500 word limit, on the topic of: a story in which two cultures clash
