Waelgryre (2015)
My first book ever (self-published). I have since unpublished and retired it on account of it being, ultimately, an incomplete creation in need of more drafts. I prematurely put it out into the world (as many first-time writers do after they write their first work), when both it and readers deserved something more developed, revised, and polished. In hindsight I committed more than a few classic no-no’s with it. Nonetheless, I am very grateful for what I learned from the whole experience.
