And bookshop.org is also carrying "The Eliminator." Same price as Amazon, but the money goes to a nonprofit that gives 80% of the take to indie bookstores. If you want to read the first scene and a half, go to Amazon and click "free sample."

I have a longish #ShortStory coming out as a standalone paperback and digitally from Water Dragon Publishing on April 24.

Gabriela is an eliminator, an assassin who travels through time, employed by NovartisKochHalliburton as part of their strategy to prevent the intercorporate wars and spare the world the devastation from bioweapons. She has an ulterior motive. And she loves '90s #grunge music.
