My dedication page of my debut novel: "Dedicated to anyone who has ever felt like they needed to earn love. It has always lingered inside of you. Beating through the words you speak, the things you think and in your memories. You have always been enough... because you exist." #indieauthor

Blaise never asked to be an elf born with an ability. Now that he finds himself being tasked with entering the human realm, he'll disguise his elven self and slowly learn more about if humans and elves can co-exist. He may even fall in love too. As unfortunate as it is for him... #writingcommunity
