So, some sad news: the publisher for Wraith shut its doors unexpectedly, which means the book now needs a new home.
As soon as I'm done being sad/mad/sad/probably-still-mad about it, I'll start looking for another outlet that can get it in your hands.
Related: publishing is stupid and I hate it.

Some WRAITH info:
1. Do you need to read the other books first? Nope! It's a standalone, but you'll recognize some things if you've read Prism and Atalanta.
2. What's the genre? Sci-fi with a light dusting of horror.

Thom Tillis is a coward whose vote can be bought at Dollar General prices. Glad to see the rest of the nation is finally getting a taste of how ridiculously awful he is.

So I'm doing this thing with the latest book where I stopped outlining 2/3rds of the way through so I could alter the ending based on any changes I made. Now that I'm one chapter away from this point, I'm putting out an APB on Past Matt.

Taking a break from my usual bullshit to tell you once again that the best thing you can do to fight back over the next 4 (🫠) years is to vote and get involved in local politics. We've already seen how local governments are providing a wall against mass deportation efforts. Flex your power.

This looming deadline I'm staring at is mocking me. My mistake was that the panicked, spur-of-the-moment, arbitrary choice of date I made happened to have witnesses. Rookie move, King. But please, go ahead with your plan to convert the tense of your POV.
