You might be wondering why Isle of Gods is no longer up for sale. When I released the book, I was determined to make it a series because I read somewhere that was what you’re supposed to do. What’s with me and doing what I’m “supposed to do?” I don’t know. It’s like I never learn my lesson. [Read more…] about More Mistakes
