With the third Chronicles of Madarre novel on the way, it's a good time to grab the first two books in the series -- and today (March 12 "Amazon time") you can grab them for free for the Kindle (including Kindle apps, of course).

The Ambitions of Kreltahk is the first book, and The Wanderings of Joramm is the second. Download your free copies while you can!

The third book will be released as soon as I can manage that! :)

Q: I just signed a lease with my boyfriend, and I feel like the walls are closing in on me. I am panicking. I am filled with anxiety and dread. I put the decision off as long as I could, and I thought that the act of signing the lease would make me feel better, but I am still freaking out.
I don’t know if I love him. I don’t know if this relationship is really going to last, or if I want it to. It’s my first long-term relationship (we’ve been dating for two years), and when I express my doubts to my boyfriend he tells me it’s all a normal part of being in a long-term relationship. He says no one ever really knows if they’re in love, and no one ever really knows if a relationship is going to last and that nerves and doubt are all normal. He thinks I’m afraid of commitment

November already? The year seems to be flying by, even if individual days seem to drag. So busy, it's easy to lose track of the calendar.

Anyway, with a new month, it's time for a new book bundle. These books are not free, but if you like reading #fantasy stories, then you might want to browse through them to see if anything catches your eye. There are over 100 titles to choose from, including a couple of mine (the first book of the Chronicles of Madarre along with the prequel novella).

Click over to the November Book Fest to check out the selection!
