My Most Anticipated 2024 Releases – Part 2
The second part of my most anticipated release for 2024 is comprised of indie fantasy and sci-fi titles.

I have separated the books into 2 categories, the first being standalones or first entries in a series, so you can jump straight into any of those books. The second category being sequels to a series I have already started. I am also...
