A friend of mine who lives in Austin saw this at a bar and said she had never been so offended by something she 100% agreed with.

COVER REVEAL for my memoir “A Slice of Orange - loving and leaving the Osho/Rajneesh cult". I love that it captures the enticement of the cult as well as the foreboding. (I was there when the FBI uncovered hundreds of poisonings in a bio-terrorist attack.)Unsolicited Press 2026#🍊#booksky 📚 #memoir
