On Dec 4, I'll be part of this reading at Fadensonnen in Baltimore. I hope people will come. No word on whether the pink bunny will show yet.

Wondering when I should drop the cover reveal for my next collection. Last year I posted on Halloween for the cover reveal of AMERICAN ANIMISM. It's gotta be darker for BODIES IN BAGS. Solstice, maybe?
