She realized this the moment she stepped off the jet and onto the tarmac, which burned so hot under the Atlanta summer sun that Kenna could swear she’d seen a sweat drop sizzle into smoke as it hit the ground.

Snapdragon is a puckishly jovial girl, with moon-pale skin and night-dark eyes and an unnervingly sharp-toothed smile. Her appearance makes her out to be around eleven years of age. She delights in pranks, both harmless and otherwise.
Snapdragon is fae and thus your most dangerous client.

Father summoned me to the east parlor as soon as I arrived. Madam Catherine, his bride-to-be, blended into the room’s pastel palette, looking as if she’d been painted in watercolor with her near translucent skin and pale pink gown. Her blue eyes were narrow but observant, and her tight blonde...

February is almost at its end! Other than K’s interview this weekend (hosted by Glitch, because K has the audacity to pull the greatest “I don’t know you” at Nick that I’ve ever written) and the Live Q&A for UCRT/Hero Zeroes, there’s not a lot left!

You glare back.

This weekend, my final Patreon goal was met. I thought long and hard about how to say "thank you" . . . but there aren't enough words to express my appreciation. Even that phrase "not enough words" feels trite when trying to communicate the immensity and depth of my gratitude.
Because I now...

Given that I was up until 6am last night (this morning?) freaking out over getting a new apartment, I'm sleep-deprived enough that my editing is doing more harm than good to the game right now.
