Chimerical News

Kind of crazy getting back into the swing of the school year, but I’ve noted that I need to have the holiday book uploaded soon so I’m finishing up the Lesandurel/Araelis Christmas novella. First readers will have that one soon! Otherwise, prepping for the con in October in Vegas—I ordered some books for my table, putting together marketing materials, etc.
