I’m a writer; I’m also a huge reader. Fantasy is one of my favorite genres and the inspiration for Landsome Roads came directly from decades of wanting to dive into a fantasy world myself. So, it’s no surprise I wrote a book with the tagline, “One reader has the chance to fix her favorite series…and maybe fall in love?”
