I’m on Etsy!

I didn’t think I had any use for Etsy because I already had a shop on my website, but Josh Blair’s post about it changed my mind, and now I’ve finally set up there. If you like buyin’ things on Etsy, get on over there!

(You may notice I’m selling the anthologies I’ve co-produced there; I plan to do the same here, but not ’til after I redo my shop.  I was going to set up a separate Etsy shop for Trees & Hills, but the process to post a new item is cumbersome enough that I don’t want to do it twice for each item.)

Sam is an ordinary boy who likes to read about magic and dragons, until one day he is inducted into the secret world of wizards. Plunged headlong into adventure, he will learn about his connection to an ancient prophecy and a mystical walrus.

“Peg, is this right? A mystical walrus? It sounds like it might be a typo.” – Jane Ruffis, copy editor
