Hello, friends! I usually reserve Thursday posts for guest authors, but today I’m rolling out exciting news of my own!
I have a new release dropping on October 4th. It’s my first in a while, and my first collection of short stories. Things Old and Forgotten is slightly different than my usual genre of mystery and suspense, but keeps with my love for the unusual and imaginative. I’m delighted to share the cover and blurb today.
BOOK BLURB:
A man keeping King Arthurβs dream of Camelot alive.
A Robin Hood battling in a drastically different Sherwood.
A young man facing eternity in the desert.
A genteel southern lady besting a powerful order of genies.
A woman meeting her father decades after his death.
These are but a few of the intriguing tales waiting to be discovered in Things Old and Forgotten. Prepare to be transported to realms of folklore and legend, where magic and wonder linger around every corner, and fantastic possibilities are limited only by imagination.
Thanks for joining me for the cover reveal and I hope you’ll keep Things Old and Forgotten on your reading radar!
How lovely!
