A Knave by Any Other Name

The Knave of Hearts

After several weeks of discussion and planning, I have some exciting news to kick off the Summer. This month I’ll be joining the team at Knave Publishing, a fantastic small press with big ideas. In their own words, “they focus on building a loyal audience for their authors and creators by publishing outstanding genre fiction and family-friendly games.” Although self-publishing has always been my first interest, the group at Knave has a clear vision for boosting my profile as an author while maintaining the creative and procedural independence I need.

Check out their new website. You’ll see a few of my current projects, including game designs and co-author opps with good friends like Beatrice Bonnie, as well as Thou Shalt Not Kilt, first full length novel, due out summer 2020.
