It’s Moving Day!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
I’ll miss this place; it was home for so long, but I’m growing and expanding and it’s time to step away. Please enjoy this video of images from lovely memories here at the ECS Blog.



…Oh, but wait!

This doesn’t have to be good-bye.

I’m settled in very well at my new home on the web and would like to invite you to join me there. The ToiBox of Words is a wonderful place to not only learn about the Eternal Curse, but to also learn about the many other stories I have to share, as well as meeting and talking with some cool authors and book fans.

The Eternal Curse Series Blog will hang around as an archive site for my older material, but I will not be posting here anymore. In honor of this farewell I’ll be offering a simple giveaway. Leave me a message, a question, or a farewell in the comments below and you’ll be entered to win a free copy of Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel in your chosen format.


Thank you all for your wonderful support and hope you sincerely consider following me at the ToiBox. I wish you health, prosperity, and good reading.
