I also fell into the story much faster, probably because I knew it was another book where Howl would make an appearance. And he does come in much sooner. If you know Howl, you spot … Continue reading Thoughts on House of Many Ways
Let's chat, shall we? Let me start by saying that I'm trying an experiment and moving the free fiction to Friday. I want to see if it has better results there.

She confronts him with this question: I always wanted to work in a little more about her wondering if Tanold considered Keteria as something to possess or kill.

Yesterday on my blog, I mentioned a problem I was having. Here's how it started: I have Mystery of the Stardust Monk completely ready to upload to distributors for both ebook and print.
