I love working on new magic systems! Internal logic and problem solving!

Does anyone else day dream fan-fic? Just drop one of your favorite characters into a TV show or movie and watch them take off on their own story line? Or am I just weird? #WritingCommunity #WritersLife

'[...] the authors who are converting the most BookSky readers into customers are the ones who are using BookSky more like a normal reader than like an advertiser." As someone who buys a ton of books from indie authors I can tell you: 'Tis true. Pure ad post don't do much for me #WritingCommunity
