I’m going to make a cute graphic later but the 1st day of Disability Pride Month seems like a good day to announce that my book is now available everywhere for pre-order. 😱‼️😍

I don't know if I've said this on main but I work for the VA. We do more than most hospitals for less pay. And our employees for the most part rock. Kudos to this blogger.

Remember to diversify your shelves all 12 months of the year.

If you need a place to start, start with adding Blood Moon to your TBR shelves:
