About
Snarly elves are my specialty. My scattered reviews consider, my take on elves different, even though conflict over magic is a cornerstone of their existence. The general tone of the reviews? My Half-Elven stories are fast-paced, thrilling, exciting, and engaging with strong characters. Yeah, I do the fantasy writer thing, mostly in the world of the Far Isle Half-Elven, a hybrid elf/human population that survived genocide by religious fanatics.

Reviews
<p><span class="readable"><span><strong>5***** Star Review: </strong>This book is not what I was expecting at all. Thinking back, I can't recall exactly what I WAS expecting anymore! I think what I actually got was so great that it overshadowed all other expectations.<br />
"Noticing Jamilla" was flawlessly written. The characters were very well developed and fleshed out for such a short story.</span></span></p>
