My #books are all 50%off on Itch for the next 2 weeks! This is a #fundraiser for my work through Underground Bookshelf, particularly the #free secondhand #bookshelf. I give away books from the shelf to anyone who comes to my table as a way to support access to #literature in the community.

But vending at events gets pricey! You can help me afford to keep this program going this summer by buying my books or giving through Ko-Fi.

What is everyone’s #WIP? I just finished draft 1 of the 2nd #book in The Stone series. It’s a #scifi about a Mars expedition that goes awry. Book One is set on Mars and follows two stranded astronauts. Book Two will follow what happens on Earth in the meantime.
