I am so excited that The Lost Lamb is being so well received. After The Toy Maker, I had to deal with self doubt and insecurities about whether I could do the series justice in the sequel. It led to writer’s block and perfectionist struggles in the editing process. But, after three years I pushed through and got the book out there. Check out the first editorial review from the Chrysalis Brew Project here<\/a>. I hope to keep you guessing as I work on the third instalment in the series and a separate horror novel. If you want to show your support, please leave a review after you finish reading on Amazon and Goodreads, Ratings and reviews really help with visibility which allows me to keep putting out more books.
