They’re not as powerful as Witch and her friends, but they do seem to be going through some of the same things that Jaenelle and the Coven went through as they came into their power. Complete […]

I love that this book began as a quick little something to put on the blog and morphed into a fully publishable book. Ada’s an assessor who goes into alien portals to see what’s available for mining before they’re closed. She’s doing it because she’s a single mom who needs dental insurance, and her first
