FRAGMENTS OF MYSELF by Fay L. Loomis

Pre-orders are open for those and other books coming soon. Decisions on the 2027 lineup are still in the works. Thank you so much for your patience. Last year was one of the hardest transitions to make it through, with a major loss right after the reading queue opened. Thank you for your kind words and support through that.
