Literature, Photography & Graphic Design

The purpose of my blog is to help promote the works of independent authors, whether through book reviews, promotional blasts, or offering publishing, editing, and design services. My blog also serves as a showcase of my own work in hopes that I can help inspire independent authors to meet their goals of publishing their books.

What’s your most bizarre talent?
I can tie a cherry stem in a knot in my mouth in under ten seconds.

What is your favorite classic Disney movie?
Probably Peter always liked the story of Neverland and find it interesting that the original book was rather dark. Plus, who wants to grow up?
