A white and black cover with red lettering and a black circle enveloping the word "zen" like a coffee stain.

To celebrate my debut novel's 3rd year in print, I'm running a sale on ebook and print copies through April 19.

It's an adult, genre-bending story that weaves the intricacies of healing with delusion and suspense.

For fans of Baby Reindeer, I May Destroy You, and You
