The manuscript is back from the editor, which means I can go through the edits and then get both print and ebook ARCs up within the next week or two. So if you're one of those awesome review folks and you'd like an early read, please hit me up! Pre-orders will be up soon too.
Huge thanks to John Durgin for reading an early draft of THE RISE: Tales From The Gulp 3, and saying kind things about it. Coming in February 2026, pre-orders up soon.
