Why I Wrote The Trouble With Goodbye

In 2013, I took a little detour from the genre I’d been writing so that I could tell a story that was intensely personal to me. The Trouble With Goodbye is fiction. It’s not the story of my life. Not exactly. But there is so much of me in this book. I poured a lot of what I experienced during a very dark time in my life into this novel, and it was beautiful and difficult and cathartic and heartbreaking all at once. When I was 23 years old, I decided to go on a backpacking trip across Europe. When…

Part 2 of A Demon’s Wrath is on sale now! This is the second part of Jackson’s story, which follows his memories of the past from the time his brother Aerden was taken captive by the Order of Shadows.
