Her parents met at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin, which her mother’s parents sent her to after a childhood illness resulted in hearing loss. Her parents had emigrated from Scotl ..read more

We make mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes follow us wherever we go until we come to terms with them, until we forgive ourselves and ask others to forgive us. But those mistakes can have a domino effect in not only family, but friends, neighbors…nations, especially when you hold a place of influence like Princes Erika does in the Rise of the Tobian Princess. The Sword of Cho Nisi is about redemption after tragedy, about the influence of evil, about men attempting to fight against a power greater than themselves, and about overcoming their differences in the face of death. Thank you for all of ..read more
