Woah, this is news to me!
Hey, peeps! My very first book is currently on sale for just 2 bucks! Both the eBook AND the hardcover, apparently? It's about a tea specialist-turned-assassin who embarks on an epic quest to rescue her kidnapped sibling... in SPACE.
Also HAPPY NEW YEAR!

the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

Moonrising is only $2.99 on Amazon Kindle! Moonrising is a near future sci-fi romance about the first lunar colony. It's cozy & optimistic with complex characters, lots of science & chickens in space. If you loved Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid or are an Andy Weir fan, this one's for you!
