Review and such

| April 12, 2012

First off, I’ve got another review up, this one of Akata Witch. Writing has been glacial recently. I’d say I haven’t had a lot of time, but that’s really only partially true. Mostly, I just need to buckle down on some revisions, which I’m hoping to do tonight and over the weekend. I also need […]

The book is a whimsical and darling story, and I’m seriously considering sending copies to my nieces and nephews for their birthdays this year. It’s also […]
