@jeshonard.bsky.social and I had SUCH a wonderful time at @booksonthebosque.bsky.social celebrating Unrelenting and Undeniable. Our first book came out in the pandemic, so events weren't a thing. What a great turnout and so much love and support. Love you, Albuquerque! @notapipe.bsky.social

It's just 3 days until Undeniable is in your hands! Whee! thegrigoribooks.com
Over a black, smoky background are the covers of UNRELENTING and UNDENIABLE. From the books are squiggly arrows that say, "Found family + blood-related family," "Secret societies," "Gritty, gripping thrillers," "Ace main character and lots of queer rep," "Elemental magic," and "Set in our world... but make it supernatural."
