Cover by Aidana WillowRaven<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m so excited right now. I’ve got my first 5* review! I admit that from the time my book was a real “physical” thing and out in the world, I didn’t know if people would like it or not. As a matter of fact, I was terrified people would hate it. And admittedly there will be people out there who won’t.<\/p>\n

You can read my 5* review at goodreads<\/a> and a slightly more condensed version over at amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
