Hey, I finally started my own YouTube channel (youtube.com/@marellasands6260)! Watch some videos, hit that “like” button, subscribe, and leave some comments. If you’d like to be on the channel, contact me and let me know what you’d like to discuss. Currently, I'm working on two series: Tales from the Angels' Share, about a bartender whose boss proves to be a supernatural creature; and Escaping Normal, about the paranormal. If you'd like your paranormal story to be featured in one of the Escaping Normal books, head to my website (marellasands.com) and click on the "Submit" button to the right on the home page. This year, I had two short stories published: Golden Eyes, in Jewels of Darkover, and Europa's Children, in Merciless Mermaids. I am also writing a book on shamanism, researching an alternate history series set in West Africa, and seeing my Rook & Thorn books reissued by Untreed Reads. In 2022, I got one item off my bucket list when I lived for four months in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
