Took a wonderful book out for lunch today.

📢COVER REVEAL📢 It's here! The cover for book 3 in Balfour's trilogy. Balfour had no plans to ever visit Verselva, the planet of the blue fangs. The locals hunt them. The wild boars stalk them. One thing is clear, not everyone will make it through the jungle alive. October 14! 📚 💙

The cat and his lawyer sat across the table. James Slibberton sat there in silence. “Mr. Slibberton,” said the lawyer, “we’re willing to negotiate, but only once we’ve received a serious offer. And until that time, my client here will be holding onto your tongue.”

It’s my 35th birthday. “Grief is wondrously monstrous. It is the implement by which we come to live in lies. That thing which births discordance in the melody of our hearts.” Step into the forest dark, for the nightmare is arrived. LIMINAL MONSTER is now yours to endure.
