TweetI have to be honest. During every round of editing and proofing, when I read the last few lines of the novel, even though I knew the words backwards and forwards, it made me tear up. It’s hard saying goodbye to a series that was a joy to write. I know you’ll enjoy the final …

New Release — Voyage of Alexandria
TweetGreetings Travelers! My pen has been racing across the parchment as the steam-trams thunder through Otherland Station like ornate mechanical elephants.
