PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
I married my high-school sweetheart at eighteen, and we currently live in Southern Oregon in our little hobbit hole with our brilliant little teenage theater nerd. We have two big dogs (Wilbur and Dexter), and a chinchilla (Cedric) who never fail to bring warmth to our home... mainly because the big dogs are quite gassy. I'm an eccentric auntie, amateur comic artist, and terrible but passionate karaoke singer.By day, I'm a polyamorous, demisexual kitchen-witch who loves feeding people and hosting Tabletop gaming nights... By night, I'm a best selling ghostwriter and editor who's written more than thirty novels that I can't give any details about. I also coach other writers who need help planning or finishing their books.While ghostwriting is very rewarding, I don't always get to write in my preferred genres, and I dream of a day when I can pay the bills writing Fantasy, SciFi, and Paranormal Romance. My bookshelves overflow with Neil Gaiman, Piers Anthony, Stephen King, and Sherrilyn Kenyon as well as many of my favorite indie authors which is a much longer list so I'll try to stick with the most important... E.M. Kaplan, R.E. Carr, Jenna Moreci, Robert Bevan, Rick Gualtieri, Drew Hayes, John Hartness, Travis I. Sivart, Steve Wethrell, and so many more that it would take a great deal of time to mention them all.As a side project, I've also recently started consulting on a series for an incredible comic book artist and hope to one day start writing comics of my own. Comic art has always been a hobby of mine, but I'm very slow at it. That's one reason why I'm always on the lookout for artists that might be willing to collaborate with me on a pleasure project.Compelling art, in any form, can have a tremendous impact on the world. It can bring hope in the darkness, or courage in the face of terror. I've always wanted to write the kind of books that make people reassess the way they see the world. I hope my characters connect with real people, and show them that that they're not alone and that their demons can be conquered.Hopefully, this is the part of my creative journey where I get to accomplish that.
"""While this all may seem like somber stuff, The Black Ballad strives to show the beauty in these darker themes. Not only is it a campaign with a deep story it features new spells and domains for the clerics featured in the story. It also offers a collaboration with DiAmorte, a theatrical metal opera band whose album pairs with the campaign like two coins placed on the eyes of a dead man."" - Rob Wieland, Forbes ""...if there is no one to call you back from the blackness then that is where your tale ends. But in The Black Ballad, it's where your adventure begins!"" - Neal Litherland, Improved Intiative When I finally did manage to click and read through the ad for the upcoming Black Ballad campaign, my perspective changed from being passive and ambivalent to ""this should be a must-have purchase for any 5E DM's""."" - Jazz Paladin, Everything Board Games ""A new tabletop role-playing game from Storytellers Forge Studios, the same team that brought The Red Opera RPG, is here and it is designed for what happens after the unfortunate event of a full party's death..."" - Dean Clark, GameTyrant "" Unlike usual D&D campaigns, The Black Ballad is a campaign meant to be kicked off after the party has experienced a TPK during their normal session. Instead of dying, the party instead will go on a full campaign to explore the afterlife and the concepts of death and resurrection within a fantasy world."" - Christian Hoffer, ComicBook: Gaming"
