In addition, after a long struggle maintaining a social media presence, I've decided to remove myself entirely from all platforms. I will miss the interactions and other fun and interesting moments, but I've never been very good at such things, being more of a solitary type who prefers to listen and watch from a distance. My "last stand" was on Mastodon, which has been a true eye-opener, a platform that showed me it's still very much possible to be online without the baggage of a centralized space. It's also from Mastodon where I rediscovered my affection for DIY site-building using some good old self-taught HTML, which eventually led to the creation of my recent static site, which I also unfortunately had to give up.
So for those of you who've kept up with me all these years since 2008, thank you so, so much for your dedication and especially your patience, slogging through my back list with all the highs and lows of my writing. It's absolutely humbling knowing someone out there is willing to take a chance on me, and I'll forever be grateful to all of you. Thank you.
LATEST RELEASE
This is a historical fantasy story taking place in a fictional town somewhere in England but with a lot of modern influences and elements. It's also set in the murky past circa 19th century (my go-to historical period) with a generous sprinkling of anachronistic language for humorous effect.
For more fun stuff about the book's creation, check out the gallery page over here.
The book is priced at 99 cents for the e-book and $9.00 USD for print. If you get a copy, I hope you enjoy it!
RECENT RELEASE
This book is my reimagining of the fairy tale "The Pied Piper of Hamelin," and while it has elements of a gay romance in it, that's not the story's main plot. The setting is in an AU 19th century Germany (still the Prussian Empire at this point in time), and all of the town and village names are fictional. It's a ghost story and a mystery that's 50,000 words long, and it's priced at 99 cents for the e-book and $9.00 USD for the print book.

As always, if you purchase a copy of the book, thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it.
PUBLISHING CALENDAR
The image below showcases my planned releases for 2025:
The books now have set dates (or target dates, anyway), which I'm determined to meet (huzzah, a challenge!). The four-month interval plan is still in place, and it's by far the most manageable calendar I can work with. Of course, given my current pace of writing and energy levels fueling it, the dates can still be moved forward for an earlier release though I'm still pretty determined to keep to a three-book yearly calendar.
For 2026, this is what I'm looking at. Any changes for anything (date or sequence or even cancellation of a project), naturally, will be shared on my main blog:
