I had a nice chat with my editor over the weekend. I realized I’m working once final third of my #WIP. This project has me all over the place, trying to navigate two different time periods for the same MC and grinds. I think that’s why I didn’t comprehend how far along I actually am. #writingcommunity #authorsofmastodon

The Last Gift-Knight

NetGalley helps publishers and authors promote digital review copies to book advocates and industry professionals. Publishers make digital review copies and audiobooks available for the NetGalley community to discover, request, read, and review.

Review of my novella "Their Village, Their Fortress" slated for April 2026 edition of Midwest Book Review. Excerpt:

"Their Village, Their Fortress is a military fantasy that revolves around the fall of a main fortress and its ensuing invasion, which ripples danger and threats into surrounding villages that depended on the fortress for protection. Despite its importance to their lives, the army decides to retreat and save itself rather than informing the villagers that they are now vulnerable to attack.
[...]
Librarians will find Their Village, Their Fortress’s focus on empowerment, survival strategies, and living with the consequences of war, honor, and rebellion makes for a fantasy that will appeal well beyond genre readers. It will prove a fitting title for book club discussion and debate about military service, personal choice and honor, and individual and collective struggles, bringing to life the possibilities and challenges of not just a village under siege, but worlds that shift over responsibilities, expectations, and outcomes." - Diane Donovan
