I’m so tempted to reveal more but I really can’t, trust me it’ll be better this way.


Look for Dweller on the Threshold around this summer sometime in August most likely.

The Guardian of Threshold Released

Today my debut novel The Guardian of Threshold was released on Amazon.com ahead of schedule.
