Woe, The King Must Die audiobook be upon ye! It's that one Eminem meme of him throwing something, and the something is my third book :)

Woe, free audiobook be upon ye!

I just got author links for the audiobook of The King Must Die and I've decided to share. Y'all don't even need to do anything to get 'em. Links below, one download each. First come, first served. [1/2]

So don't let it.

This week, on Undercover in the Apocalypse: my dreams came true, but I just found new ways to be miserable.
