KNIFE – R.J. Anderson
rj-anderson.com
I got the loveliest DM today from a reader who wanted to tell me what KNIFE meant to her and how many times she‘s re-read it. She apologized for being wordy. Let me assure you, friends, no author is ever sorry to hear how much you loved their book! Please be wordy! rj-anderson.com/book/knife/

Australian and/or UK readers who have read Splintered Sight--please consider taking a moment to review on the Amazon .au or .uk sites. Reviews come very seldom on those sites; a single review, no matter how pithy, goes a long way! 😊
And for everyone who has already reviewed: thank you!
