Guessing is free, but I encourage you to buy a few books or read them on KU, etc. Everyone worked really hard this year, like always!

So, I'm running a contest:

Find my book! Win a cool prize!

The more entrants I have, the more Prize I will add; if I receive multiple correct guesses somehow, the hierarchy is in order of guess received.

Right now, I have a signed copy of the paperback edition of BRINGER on the line & more...

Now, I'm not allowed to promote this book on 'main' for almost a month yet, but I'd like to draw more attention to the derby in general. The promotion opportunities for the event have taken a lot of hits, with every social media platform rapidly devolving

And the stakes of
human error are so sufficiently high (oh I don’t know that lib lady demon can latch onto you) that you cannot really outsource this.
