Will someone tell me why Europe gets the best covers? US cover on the left, European cover on the right. Come on, why we got this hand-in-a-lava-lamp thing when there's this sublime red masterpiece out there?

Hey, if you are sending out an email to solicit my vote, cool. Maybe try to give me a little about you, humanize the email, give me a reason to open your message or try your book.

I am. I grew up in South Florida. It's great to now understand what the hell was going on in all those retirement communities. So, I tried to get some of your other books and I haven't been able to find them. Devil's Creek for instance :(

Hey, #ttrpg #mothership people! What tools are there for making maps like these? I mean, i know I could do it all from scratch but before I went down that route I wanted to see if something already existed.
