It's here! Journeys of PearlHeart is now available at retailers as well as for a discount on my website keilanimcconnellart.com (physical versions only, ebooks are only through their distributor)! I have been working on this story since about 2016 and am thrilled to finally be able to share it.

Something a little different this time! I also really enjoy making jewelry and this is the first pair of earrings where I shaped the metal on my own and work hardened it so it keeps its shape. I'm super happy with how the blues ended up working together!
