So, I write books. The Anna Dressed in Blood duo is horror, The Goddess War trilogy is mythology, and Three Dark Crowns is fantasy, because the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you, may not be right for some. Love to read, too.

Suffice it to say, there has been a string of Very Bad Things.  I was talking to my dad yesterday and joked that I thought I might be under some kind of curse, and he said, that while it might feel that way, sometimes life just has a series of kinks that need to work the

Both of accepting my request and writing such a spectacular book. I saw it on the shelves in K-Mart awhile ago and I picked it up but I shrugged it off, but I kept getting drawn to it! Now I'm absolutely in love with Anna and Cas, even ghosts have boyfriends, jeez. I would really love a longer installment of Anna's story, two books just isn't enough, as would everyone else.

I absolutely love your books, thank you!
