When Lizzy’s temper gets the better of her, logic is rarely the right answer.

Sometimes, the answer is a challenge she can quietly rally against.

And sometimes, it’s a question from a friend.

April Flash Fiction!

Not everything responds to a command…
Sometimes, it must be guided.

April’s flash fiction arrives on the 17th via my mid-month newsletter.

And right now, she doesn’t have time for questions!

Something magical happens when the world goes quiet 🌒

I'm going live on the youtube channel "Bald&Balding" with some fellow "Self Publishing Fantasy Blog-off" authors in about an hour. Replay should be available afterwards too.

Feel free to hop in and watch, or join the live chat, if you'd like to see me trying not to panic on a live stream while answering questions about Changeling! ^_^
