Big news, minions. Wicked Little Things is now available for preorder! It’ll officially hit digital shelves on the 1st of December.
Keep your eyes peeled for my next post (later tonight or tomorrow) where I’ll be complimenting you, begging for your help in spreading the word about my new book, and offering you a chance to win a free copy-all at the same time, while juggling eight chainsaws and hula hooping. Okay, that last bit isn’t exactly true, but the rest is.
Also, have you joined my mailing list? And, why not? Yes, I’m looking at you. You’ll still get a free copy of Zombie Tree just for joining. How can you turn such a stupendous offer down?
