Welcome to the official Writer’s Nook page!

There’s nothing better…

Dear Friend, Book 2 Quote! Yay! This seems in order, seeing as it has been a little bit since I’ve shared anything specific to the story behind Book 2-The Heir. I think I enjoyed this particular quote from Chapter 3 of The Heir simply because it is the chapter that starts the beginning of “the…
