  • The Ball (doll photos)

    ,

    One of my favorite parts of Serpent’s Mark was the masquerade. So it was one of the things I wanted to someday represent with photos, too. I made their clothes and masks, and… well, yeah. I previously shared these on Instagram and thought it would be nice to group them… Read the rest…

    ,

    As work on Serpent’s Blood (Snakesblood Saga #6) comes to an end, I’m back to my poor on-again, off-again project. The last Snakesblood book is up for preorder, so all I can do is wait–and get back to writing. My goal for this month is to get 30,000 words added… Read the rest…
