Greetings Lore Keepers, one and all!
To say I’ve been anticipating this day for a long time doesn’t really capture the nuance of what publishing is like. But since I don’t want to turn this email into another novel, I’ll skip ahead to the big thing.
📚 Book launch is here!
Lily’s Passage is officially out in the wild in all its glorious forms. If you’ve been waiting to grab a physical copy, here are the links:
- Paperback: https://amzn.to/48f3TZX [Amazon affiliate link]
- Hardcover: https://redemption-press.com/product/lilys-passage/
- BONUS—Ebook is free through November 29th: https://amzn.to/4pwrSuW [Amazon affiliate link]
Currently hardbacks are available on Amazon for retail price, but if you purchase through Redemption Press (link above) you get a significant discount (even with shipping costs). OR… you can purchase directly through me for the best price, no shipping cost, and signed/personalized. However… I only have a few hardbacks available for direct sale at this time, but as the demand grows, so will my inventory. ☺️ Find me at an in person event in Southern Arizona to possibly unearth one of these rare treasures.
Also, one lucky Lore Keeper will be drawn to receive a FREE HARDCOVER on December 3rd at 8 pm AZ time. Keep an eye on your inbox—the winner will be notified via email.

Reviews
THANK YOU to everyone who has left a review! I currently have 8 reviews (9 ratings) on Amazon, 1 on Goodreads, and 0 on Redemption Press’s website. My goal is to get 25 Amazon reviews by the end of launch (next Tuesday, December 2nd)—do you think we can get there?
Wondering about the post title? If you’ve read Lily’s Passage, you probably already know. If you haven’t, you might need to wander in the garden some more…
As the wind blows,

I’m a storyteller at heart. Regardless of the medium—fantasy or realism, the written word or the screen, static or experiential—I’m in the business of stories. Because stories move us. Shape us. Comfort us. Challenge us. Stories are relatable and bring disparate parts together. We learn from each other by the stories we share. And perhaps, most importantly, stories reveal truths that are too ugly or too beautiful to face head-on.
My experience with stories began in childhood when I escaped into other people’s worlds and dreamed of creating my own. Over time, I’ve learned to incorporate stories into all areas of my life—music, crafting, gaming, and of course, writing.
Though I wasn’t born here, I call the Sonoran Desert my home. The vibrant sunsets and rugged mountains inspire my fantasy landscapes, and I’m drawn to the resilience of the beings that dwell here.
When I’m not writing, I can be found visiting the library with my two daughters, sewing, baking sourdough, playing mandolin, and leading adventurers through tabletop gaming campaigns.
Become a Lore Keeper to join my community of fellow travelers.
