Book Funnels for June 2026
Another month, another set of amazing book funnels featuring the works of independent authors!

How does the craft happen? Where do stories come from?
The Pink Eye Yaksha
Cover reveal and background story behind the upcoming children's KidLit novella, The Eyes of Ess-Vaha (The Pink Eye Yaksha), in collaboration with illustrator Chris Ho.
The Power of Grace
Relationships take an unseen toll on the psyche, emotions, mind, and physical body. It is never what it seems. Samsara has its hooks in our emotions. A non-Christian view on the power of Grace.

Of Sloths and Shadow Healing
Healing the Inner Child to Embrace the Illusion of Weight Loss.
🗞️ Hopeful Scraps of Paper
Behind-the-scenes look at the life of an author—author goals including getting my books into bookstores, year-to-date book sales, awards, retrospective on A Lion's Pride and the Pawn of Samsara Duology.
