A short, humorous little piece out today in the Bureau Dispatch. It's about a vampire reviewing vampire books on Goodreads. There's also some fun, writing desk trivia. From The Bureau Dispatch
Hi friends. Having two books released during a pandemic is not recommended. But this time around, we're doing a full on actual release event in an actual book store. Interabang Books in Dallas, Texas has been so kind to open their doors for me to do a reading/discussion/signing on the day that STRINGERS is released. … Continue reading Stringers Book Release Event
