Humbled that author @theandrewkclark.bsky.social asked for a blurb on his upcoming book, WHERE DARK THINGS RISE, releasing Sept. 17 from Quill and Crow Publishing House. This book is 🔥!

I guest lectured at NC State for author Sara Johnson's class, Exploring Mysteries. Did I shatter my perceived limitations or social anxiety? Probably not, but I made a serious dent!
