Day 5 of the Government Shutdown sale, now’s the time both books 99 cents!!!

Matthew Zorich Author ⚔️🛡️⚔️🧷 @matthewzorich.bsky.social · 12d

Straight up every book sale I get goes back into my next books editor, artist, & cover artist. Anything else goes back into the arts, 🎭 in the manner of paintings I buy, books purchased, music for writing. I’m part of the community & I give back. So go grab a copy, leave a review please.
