Cardinals

My favorite bird is the Northern Cardinal. Why? It was my grandma's favorite bird, and every time I see one it just reminds me of her.

She passed away August 2008 while I was in the Missionary Training Center (a place were Mormon missionaries go to learn how to teach and the basics of the language they will spend 1.5-2 years preaching). Yes, I miss her sometimes.

A heavy post but hey, I just got back from an amazing trip to Virginia and I saw a couple of them.

Cheers everyone!

The Wizard's Seal Part I: Samurai and Seers

In the famous words of someone or other, "Eureka!"

Click on the link below to buy this piece of work that was 10 years in the making in paperback or ebook through Amazon and Kindle.

The Wizard's Seal Part 1

A big shout out to my artist, Mandi Davies, for making this awesome. You can see her other work at https://www.facebook.com/flygirldavies. Click on her link under "Social Media Hangouts."

My heart was in the right place

Well, obviously a year and a month ago I made a resolution to blog more...And that didn't quite happen.

But in other news!

I finally self-published my novel, The Wizard's Seal!!!  WAHOOOO!!!

The Wizard's Seal: Samurai and Seers will be available to buy through Amazon and kindle. So you all know, it's the first part. I split it into two books to make it more manageable for you lovely readers out there. *blows kisses and strawberries* I hope everyone enjoys it. I did work very hard on it.

Now the next big thing is tackle Part II in editing (already a nightmare) and start a new book (completely stumped but I'll push through). So in the famous words of a bouncing tiger,

"TTFN!!!"
