Long time no blog post! I’ve been taking a Very Long Break to deal with life and to overcome my burnout. But let’s get to the fun stuff!

August is back with another Indie Book Sale! Thanks to Narratess and her team, and Claudie with the itchio bundles, each book sale has gotten better and better. There are a TON of amazing indie books on sale this go around, including my own: A BITTER DRINK for $1.99! Sale prices range from FREE to $1.99. There are 300+ books in this year’s sale!

I have an exciting announcement!

ALL of my books are 50% off for the month of July on Smashwords only!

If you haven’t picked up Witch in the Lighthouse‘s sequel, or any of my other works, now’s the time. I’d love it if you could support my work–and sharing counts!

But wait! There are so many other books on sale as well, so don’t forget to check them out, too.

I’ve been taking a break, so I hope you can continue to be patie...

A beautiful tale, Reflections of Lilje Damselfly by Natalie Kelda tells the story of a water nymph who learns what it means to be human set in a cozy Edwardian era.

When a mysterious ailment refuses to leave water nymph Lilje, her father sends her to a human spa retreat. Lilje quickly discovers she has a lot to learn about human nature and culture when she accidentally scandalises the Edwardian spa guests by showing up undressed.

In hope of relieving her chronic pain and fatigue, s...

Damn. Matar did it again. Brick and Bone hits you as hard as the Lledwydydd Lightning hits his opponents. Political intrigue, civil unrest, and the fight for human rights continues as Ishmael and Tashue battle their way out of the mess they got themselves into (or rather, the mess they were forced into) at the end of Brightwash, but things just get even worse. 

LEGACY OF BRICK & BONE, Tainted Dominion #2
Follow the law and you’ll stay safe. But what if the law betrays you?

It all st...

It’s basically April, and you know what that means. Indie April!

April is all about the indies, with the biggest sale (that I know of) being the Narratess Indie April sale, which is happening the first week of April! That’s NEXT WEEKEND!

If you’re a fan of using the platform itch.io, many authors from the Narratess sale will be part...

Hey everyone! I’ve finally made the decision to go wide with my ebooks.

This means I will no longer be participating in Kindle Unlimited. KU was very stop and go since I started publishing, and it just doesn’t make sense to continue with the program. It also means you’ll be able to purchase all four of my books (and any future books) on platforms like Kobo, Campfire Writing, Barnes and Nobles, itchio and more by March 12th, 2025.

My ebooks will also be available in many of the offered li...

Legacy of the Brightwash by Krystle Matar is book one in the Tainted Dominion series. This has been on my radar for a long time; I’ve heard nothing but praise for it, and I finally got the chance to read it! I devoured this dark/gaslamp fantasy, a novel of almost 700 pages.

Summary: 
Follow the law and you’ll stay safe. But what if the law is wrong?

Tashué’s faith in the law is beginning to crack.

Three years ago, he stood by when the Authority condemned Jason to the brutality of the ...

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for being here. I’m back from hiatus and ready to get those creative juices flowing again. I hope you all had a wonderful year and a satisfying holiday season! 

2024 was a long year for me. As you may already know from previous posts, I was dealing with constant fatigue at the end of 2023 and into 2024 and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I had a great doctor, though, and have been on a working dosage of medication without issue. My fatigue has improved significa...

Friday the 13th! A traditionally spooky day, but also the release day of A Witch in Isenshire! I am so pleased and excited about my latest book. Everyone has been so kind in sharing & creating hype for this sequel!

AWII’s summary:
A Witch in Isenshire is a bold cup of coffee made with determination, personal growth, and adventure.

Magnolia Hanna never thought she’d forgive Basil Olivander, the witch who inadvertently upended so many lives in Lightview. Yet four months after their battle,...
