Last Saturday, I had the honor of being a guest on The Picky Bookworm podcast!
 
I had a blast and Pamela welcomed me with open arms. We chatted about how we met, Twitter friends, and one of the biggest mistakes I made as a self-published writer. 
 
Also, listen for several book recs by fellow indies from me!
 
In writing news… I’m continuing to plod away on the first draft of this new romance WIP. Like all first drafts, it’s a bit of a dumpster fire, but I can’t make improvements if I don’t get the words down first, right?
 
Have a great weekend, y’all!

Today's my stop on the Escapist Book Company's tour for The Moon's Eye. This is my first ever book tour and I'm honored to be a part of it!

​An epic fantasy and an amazing adventure, this first installment in The Relics of War series is one you’re not going to want to miss if you’re a sword and sorcery fantasy fan. 
 
Vardak is considered the strongest and best warrior of his people, the Scorpion Men, and is favored by the god of war. This success comes at a cost, however, because he must serve this god no matter what. As the story opens, we learn that Vardak has been tasked with protecting the Fire Maiden’s mortal daughter, Janna. 
 
Janna must go on a quest to retrieve a magical relic called The Moon’s Eye but she is inexperienced and, quite frankly, scared to complete her task. But she must, however, for The Moon’s Eye is the only thing that can stop the evil Soulless from rising to power. 
 
Calvin expertly builds a fantastic world of gods and different mortal races. The character development ensures you’re able to find a favorite and root for them. That being said, there are a lot of characters and it did take me several chapters to figure out exactly who was doing what. 
 
Overall, this is a distinctive read!

​4/5 stars
