Hello, 2018!

Happy New Year! My New Year's resolution is to finish Book 4 in the Guardian Series! :) I'm working on it now and as soon as I have a firm release date I'll notify via my newsletter as well as post here and to Facebook, etc. In addition, I'm working on another book (not in the Guardian Series) I hope to release in 2018 as well. In the meantime, hope you're enjoying New Year's Day and here's wishing 2018 brings you all good things!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Did you know that many museums (The Met, MOMA, The National Gallery, The Rijksmuseum) make their images free online for anyone to download and use, for anything they choose? 

In honor of Valentine's Day, here's a photograph by Henry Peach Robinson titled "She Never Told her Love." It's his illustration of the Shakespearean verse from Twelfth Night: "She never told her love,/ But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud,/ Feed on her damask cheek"

All I can say is, if you love someone, *Tell Them*!

Hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day!️️
