Niagara Falls: a blast from this blog’s past. I really did not mean to delay this series so long. About the time I did pause it was when I started writing my manuscript. I fell down a writing rabbit hole and only crawled out recently. While my manuscript is with a beta reader I’m going

I have not read a ton of books in this genre yet but I love what I have read. The cozy fantasy genre looks at the small scale, these characters just want to live their lives in simple wholesome ways and when they fight they are fighting for their own lives. Don’t get me wrong,
It has been a moment since I have posted a piece from writing group. Sometimes I don’t like what I have written, sometimes the piece is too personal. This was a fun pieces to warm us in the heart of a cold January. The prompt was comfort. I went through a few ideas before setting
