My Writing Platforms
You can purchase my work on several platforms. Here you’ll find more information about each platform and how I use them. This is meant to give some amount of transparency as to why I’m on the platforms that I’m on.
As a reminder, I’m an indie author, meaning that you (the reader) are the key to my success. I appreciate your willingness to invest in that success so that I can continue sharing stories about diverse and colorful worlds with you.
