I will have a request for you, but first, let me share the results of the Gingerbread House poll. My oldest daughter, who happens to be the only daughter who reads my newsletter, stole the crown from me. Congratz, Grinchy. Down to business. I've been improving my FB ads, and your feedback from the last newsletter helped. In particular, this poll: The Red and Grundle pic was not doing well on FB, so, trusting that you folks know what you like better than FB knows what you like, I created new ad sets. They haven't run long enough for me to have sufficient data, but it looks like there might be a winner amongst them. In particular, this one: So, the request: I want to try adding video testimonials to the mix of ads. I'm looking for a few folks willing to record 10-20s videos recommending either The Guardian League or Mother of Trees. (I don't think ads for Thaumatropic Roots make sense until I've completed the series). For some of you, this is no different from what you do for IG already. I can put your handle in the text if you want, but I can't link it (because the ad will be linking to the amazon book page). But I'll be spending money on the ads, so consider it some low-key free advertising for you (if that floats your boat). Since this is my first venture into video, I don't have any specifications. It's just a clumsy stumbling step forward for me. :) If you're willing to create a video testimonial, just reach out to me through this email. Previous Newsletters

Hi! If you enjoy fantasy with snarky humor, I've got some books for you. My newsletter takes you along the creative journey, and keeps you informed of what's brewing.
Elliah was never meant to carry this. She was born without magic in a world built on it.She was told what she could not be. Very few asked what she would become. And yet here we are. If you came to my work through The Guardian League, this is where the deeper current begins—the prison that holds the Father of Stones, the fracture in magic that echoes forward into Red’s world. The modern story stands on what happens here—even if it doesn’t know it yet. And Elliah’s world was not built for...
Before we finish this, let me remind you where we left off. The world is fraying. The Father of Stones presses at the edges of the cage.Dragons carry memory like a wound.The elves gather for a final strike at the trolls, while mutual distrust keeps them apart.And the cost of holding the line has only grown heavier. Shepherds of Truth does not introduce a new conflict. It answers the one we’ve been circling since Book One. Here’s a brief moment from early in the book: He lay curled on the...
Subject: It ends April 13. It’s strange to write this. On April 13, I release Shepherds of Truth. Book Four. The end of Thaumatropic Roots. When I started Mother of Trees, I didn’t know how far this story would travel. I didn’t know who would live. I didn’t know what it would cost. Now I do. This final book pulls together threads that have been tightening since the beginning—the Mother of Trees and Father of Stones, dragons, elves, and their ancient troll enemies, the choices that were made...
