The Talisman War Series
My first novel The Pyre Starter is an adult fantasy with a side of romance. It features LGBTQIA+ characters, disabled characters, and characters of color. It is available for purchase from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, JMS Books, and more. The Pyre Starter is the first book in the Talisman War Series, which has seven books in total.
