We've all had the same dumpster fire year. Bushwhacking through the chaos. But I'm back on the trail.
“I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.” Everyone. Internet. 2020.
When I set out to write Ace Grant, I wanted to create a wholly American mythology. It needed to reflect our history, not simply write another Western European transplant of faye courts and vikings.
