Here’s a tease of the cover of THE SORCERESS QUEEN AND THE PIRATE ROGUE, out April 19, 2021. This is Book #2 in Heirs of Magic, Book #1 being THE GOLDEN GRYPHON AND THE BEAR PRINCE, with a prequel novella, THE LONG NIGHT OF THE CRYSTALLINE MOON, in the UNDER A WINTER SKY anthology. The cover isn’t quite final, so some elements here may change, but it’s getting close! Look for a full reveal soon.
Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is “That Old Tyme RELIGION: Does Religion Change the Course of a Story?” Come on over for my tale.
Hello all and happy spring!

I'm explaining why I'm not a Vellum fan like so many, and who I use for formatting my self-published books. Also how I don't like when Big Name Authors look down on other authors who might not have the same measures of success.
The BBeBooks website, the formatter I recommend, is here (https://bbebooksthailand.com/).
