#Indieapril Author Spotlight: Josie Jaffrey
I’m a big fan of Josie Jaffrey. Her vampire books are absolutely amazing, and I loved every bit of it. Besides being an excellent writer, she’s also a kind and fun person. She’s one of the few indie authors that sends physical ARCs to international bloggers. She really cares about the community. So here’s a Read More
