	My debut novel, Magic’s Key, has hit the shelves! It’s a children’s fantasy story about a girl who’s offered a wish, and makes a deal to learn magic instead. The follow-up novella, The Million-Dollar Mage, is coming Spring 2024!
	Two Mondays each month, I post a new article about something I've learned from loving stories and trying to tell them. Additionally, subscribers to my blog, The Independent Wordsmith, are the first to know about my new projects.
	I do visual design, under the name EmpyreanLens. So far, I’m building websites, creating cover art and lyric videos, and offering photographs I’ve taken as free stock images.
	I made a system-agnostic RPG map generator, Doors Into Rooms. If you like running campaigns with players who do anything but what you've planned, this makes a great secret weapon.
	Out now, I have a short story about an unlikely hero and a novelette about teenage friends with superpowers in the shared-world fantasy anthology RMR: The Realm-Mesh Reality, under my pen name Lucy Aster.
	Dragons? Royal politics? Prodigious young heroes? Check, check, and check! Behold my system-agnostic table-top roleplaying supplement: Of Gold And Fire Let Them Be Forged. If you love fantasy and gaming, there’s a crown waiting for you in Tantir.
	In case you’ve ever wanted to control the fate of a kingdom, I wrote an interactive story where you can do just that: The Blood Throne of Harrow.
