COVER REVEAL
I think it's updated at all retailers where I have preorders, but it's not instantaneous. So: I'm madly in love with this cover! It's perfection! (Preorders are up some places. More coming soon!)
19th century Jewish London
Because it came up recently-ish... 19th century Whitechapel was full of Eastern European Jews. There are modern walking tours of the area to see the Jewish sights. My character engages with these Eastern European immigrants. The Jewish population in England increased...
Minotaur
The spires of Miros were tall and slender, much like Ted’s captors. They walked in the streets below the spires that shaded the streets and cast long shadows. Ted’s wrists ached from the manacles. He kept moving, although he stumbled on the stone-paved streets. His Mirosian captors, strong for their slight builds, shoved him forward, and the cold metal crushed his wrists again. As they crossed the street, the light reflected off the guard’s green exoskeleton.
Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading
The reading went great! I got to read with my sister, and... generally if the Broads are in the house, GO SEE THEM. I read from Immortal Gifts, and people chuckled in all the right places, so there you are.

Grandfather Paradox
JUNE 23, 1994
Ann stuffed her blood-spattered clothes into the next door apartment complex’s dumpster. He wasn’t dead, but it was harder to get a knife through someone’s chest than she’d expected. Maybe he’d bleed to death before someone found him. She didn’t care either way. She was a juvenile, so it wasn’t like she was going to fry.
She walked. The YMCA was open. She locked herself in the men’s room, curled up on the floor, and fell asleep.
Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
