Exciting day – the final chapter of my new novel "Strange Faces at the Windows" is now out! Full story available here: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/episode/B09ZVMNG5S

In the meantime, may everyone’s summer reading be joyous, informative, and plentiful! I’m just starting The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake and am quickly getting sucked into a dark fantasy world that feels like a more bookish but equally wild Umbrella Academy:
