A few weeks ago FORSAKEN went down to the low, low price of 99 cents.  It may have seemed odd, especially in light of my opinion that 99 cents is a terrible price for an eBook that’s over 100,000 words.…

A year ago I challenged myself to write a book that really scared me. Like leave-the-lights-on scary. Like bad-things-happen-to-good-people scary. Like get-beneath-your-skin-and-drive-you-insane scary. After a year of going full dark and coming up with sentences and paragraphs and whole chapters…
