Cover reveal: Unfold is coming this Dec. This is a workplace drama meets creature feature. I am so excited to finally be able to show everyone this. I am so proud of this book.

Sign up for an ARC: forms.gle/KBiSDG2M21Ci...
A dark hallway with green lighting, a monster lurking in the dark, papers all over the floor, and blood on the left wall. The title "UNFOLD" is at the top and the author name, my name, "Tristan Zelden" is on the bottom. Blurb for my book Unfold, which reads: Blake Buckley and her colleagues continue to hit roadblocks in trying to improve the environment of Unfold, the leading research company that employs them. After a devastating loss of a lawsuit against the company, the employees try to rally but continue to struggle. They work together while continuing their passionate studies on the company's most prized asset: the whintossers, three biology-defying beasts that have become potentially the most important discovery in zoology. When Blake gets pushed lower in her personal and professional lives, she starts to hit a breaking point. It seems like nothing can be done to make her dream job into the joy that she hoped it would be. After getting pushed to her breaking point, she starts to think of a way to get back at the leaders of Unfold. She just doesn't know that her plan will come at a deadly cost.

New shirt to celebrate my favorite movie and an ironic hat because apparently that is who I am now.
A John Carpenter's The Thing sleeveless shirt with a red alien dog with a UFO coming out of its eye. My hand with a mushroom tattoo on my wrist holding a hat with "Tattoos are stupid" written on it.

FINALLY got through my physical TBR enough to reach the latest book by @jasonschreier.bsky.social. I love his first two, and he is the GOAT games reporter. Excited to dive in.
Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment by Jason Schreier on a wood table. "Play Nice" is written in icey blue with a handaxe through the "E," cracking it slightly.
