I can’t believe it has been 20 years since I finished the main books for The Kota Series! In reality, this series started when I was 9 years old, back when my mom suggested I write a story about the “game” we played every day as kids. (I’m not goingContinue Reading

The box set audiobook is finally here, and I’m so excited to share it with you! My narrator (whose name goes great with mine, don’t ya think?) did an awesome job bringing this world, characters, and story to life. And that was no easy task, considering she had demons, jinn,Continue Reading

I love dystopian sci-fi novels packed with world-building and detail, and this book is a great example of such. It’s a little bit “Divergent,” a bit “Ender’s Game,” but there’s a lot here that is completely original. The writing is wonderful. The dialogue is sharp and sounds good in yourContinue Reading
