I will never shut up about how much I love this novella. I stayed up almost all night to finish reading it because it had THAT feeling.

I'm really happy to see it in print again.

This is an amazing compliment. You saw it among the chaos and I’m so glad it roared its way out. Thanks so much, Suzan 🖤
