Meanwhile, on a writing note, I fully self-published by The Dragonkin Legacy series, and also finished...well, no, I will keep that a secret for now. As to Sisters of the Desert and Mages' Legacy, they will come in time, but I have the aforementioned secret plus another surprise my students should be able to guess to handle first.

“You know when you walk into a bookshop and you see all those thousands of books lined up in front of you? That intoxicating feeling of knowing that behind each cover is a different world to explore, like thousands of tiny portals? That adrenaline rush just before you open a new book? The thrill of being surrounded by fellow book lovers? That is what fuels bookwandering, and it comes to life in bookshops.” – Anna James
