Looking forward to this forthcoming novel by North Carolina author Spencer K. M. Brown in 2027. In the meantime, I plan on reading as much of his work as I can. If anyone has recommendations, I’d be grateful.

I needed a quick read for a short Disney cruise and thought it’d be perfect to take along Ethan Hawke & Me by @andrewbertaina.bsky.social Review to be posted in the near future!
