You'd think after publishing 9 novels in 13 years, I'd have made my peace w/ the need to promote them.

I'm still conflicted re: anything that smacks of self-promo. I believe in my work. I'm proud of what I write & very much want to share it with readers.

But the work doesn't magically announce itself to the world.

So if you're looking for SF&F books that are earnest, honest, compelling & character focused, give them a try?

2 are free/pay what you will at Gumroad.
