Great! :) I loved this and am anxious to reread it for the IRL book club I facilitate and then the second installment, Curse of Gold, which is supposedly due to be released sometime in 2020, but I don't see a date for that yet. I'm also excited because she lives locally and agreed to attend our book club meeting! I had met her at an event at my favorite used bookstore and really liked her, too!

[Kelly]

The Starless Sea

I will join Lindsay for Know my name in February. Thank you.
