Dreamscape Author’s Update – 09/15/2023

Author’s Note: “Dead Thoughts” is the fourth book in the Dreamscape Series and is under development for release this fall.

I confess to all the lies and embellishments to the truth found on these pages, but I'm convinced that skill had to have been handed down from…
