Book reviews & project updates
Thoughts from the Pensive
Vivid, by Ashley Bustamante
I review my experience reading The Color Theory series, beginning with Vivid and ending with Radiance by Ashley Bustamante. The third book, Chromatic, is not available as an audiobook. It thus leaves the ending a mystery to this post.
The Juniper Ball, A Christmas Novella
Juniper is stood up and finds herself alone on Christmas while her friends are on vacation. But she takes a leap of faith when an envelope slips through her attic door, inviting her to a Christmas ball.
An Introduction
To introduce myself, my name is Stephanie Winter. God willing, I have plans to publish independantly, and hopes to publish traditionally with Enclave (a Christian fantasy/sci-fi publisher). But there will always be stories to find here.
