On April 25, celebrate Independent Bookstore Day by supporting Entershine Bookshop.

Independent bookstores are more than shops. They are refuges for stories, keepers of local voices, and small bright hearths in the life of a city. Entershine is one of those places.

Pick up a book, find a gift, place a special order, or simply step through the door and help keep that light burning.

Support local. Read boldly. Support Entershine Bookshop.

Some you already know, but I'm working on my next book: OF REGRET: A Monster’s Story. It takes place in the same world introduced in The Cave of Past and Present. If you want the on-ramp before the next book lands, start there. https://a.co/d/7wj1IHz

Quick question so I post the right kind of updates:
What do you want more of?

1. short excerpt lines
2. worldbuilding details (trade/logistics/politics)
3. behind-the-scenes story problem-solving
