Some of my favorite stories start with the words “What if” When I was a kid, I had a subscription to Marvel Comics, and one of the titles that came to me each month was the “What If” series. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s basically the Twilight Zone in comic book form: a…
I am so happy that this moment is finally here! I have officially signed on with Indigo River to publish book two of the HIGHGLADE series, currently titled AWAKEN THE THREE.
