Book Review: Facing Demons by Ashley Sanders

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 15, 2012

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 7, 2011

I am very excited to have a cover for the third book in the Misfit McCabe series, Tattered, for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that I love the cover. And secondly, it means the release of Tattered can’t be far behind.

K. Turner’s Review of Misfit McCabe

By LK Gardner-Griffie on October 23, 2011

Writing Challenges

Writing Challenges

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 8, 2011
