2023 Year in Review
It was pretty awesome.
In 2023, I started a new pen name, published 3 books, and protected my mental health. I call that a win. A purple hunter, a bronze thief, and a blue hero fell in love with a girl from Los Angeles, a woman from Vegas, and a very special heroine from South Africa.

My first discreet paperbacks:
I made a modest profit and covered all the expenses of production. Most importantly, it was great for my mental health. Some unique challenges popped up this year with my family, and planet Aziza was the perfect escape.
My goal for 2024 is to double all these numbers (at least), expand the world, and explore the orc culture. We’re gonna save more human women and create some very satisfying love stories. I can’t wait to share it all with you.
Follow this blog to watch the magic happen. Thank you to everyone who supported my journey this year. Special thanks to Mama (Jenn) Rednax and Laura Stapleton/Mara Jaye for being steadfast friends through the good and bad times. It helped more than you know. (Big hugs from Vonne, Tor, and Skoll.)
