Recent Goings On:

Last day to Support the Mighty Pens!

Today is the last day of NaNoWriMo and the last day of the Mighty Pens. But it's not too late to donate!

Every dollar helps, and just think about all the young writers and aspiring authors around the globe that you would be helping! You can watch the video below to learn more.

And donate here!

For the Misfits & Witchlanders:

Read More of The Executioners Three

A bunch of new chapters have gone up since the last newsletter! Stakes are rising! KISSES ARE HAPPENING.

So be sure to check out The Executioners Three on Wattpad -- my paranormal horror mystery.

New chapters drop every Wednesday and Friday. And if everything goes according to plan, the entire book will be up before Christmas. Just in time for you to read it over the holidays...

PLUS, since this is an early draft that I'm sharing as I write, I'll be uniquely poised to walk through how I revise it when that moment eventually comes!

Read the book here!
