If only I could wave a magic wand or conjure up a spell...
And have all the stories in my head appear in an instant. Who wouldn't love that? Sadly, the wand is probably buried under the mountain of laundry waiting to be done and the spells are all mumbo jumbo, so I'm left with scribbling, typing, and sometimes verbalizing dialog out loud like a madwoman to keep the sages happy.
Listed below are a few of the currently in progress manuscripts I hope to get finished in the near future. Writing as Skye Ritchey, they feature magic and fantasy for the most part. I hope you enjoy! Please feel free to leave a comment if anything grabs you. The sages can always use a good boost every once in a while.
