Special Book Announcements

Earlier this year, I announced that Natural Disaster would receive a new look. Well, it’s here! If you’re on my email list, you’ve already seen the news. Look at this cover! Isn’t it gorgeous?

While I still love the original cover, this is more on point for genre. All proceeds from the original cover went to Ukraine refugees, directly through the cover designer who lives in a nearby asylum country
