As an indie author, I share and promote the books of others as well as my own. My work is multi-genre, with published works of epic fantasy, urban fantasy, paranormal, and mysteries touched with magic. Most are set in other eras, probably because I never really felt at home in my own time. I hope you'll stop by, read something, enjoy it, and leave a note saying hello. https://teagansbooks.wordpress.com/about/ Also check out my Amazon Author Page. relinks.me/TeaganRiordainGeneviene
