I can finally scream about this! LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY
For years, I dreamed of having a Red Cover. So many of my favorite books have a red vibe, and for a book about chilis, blood, and revolution, it could not be more perfect.
Oh, and did I mention my MC standing on a kaiju?!

COVER REVEAL TIME! Time for a new BADASS cover art in your feed. This is for SEVEN RECIPES FOR REVOLUTION by @ryanprose! Pitched as Attack on Titan meets The Bear, I definitely will read and review this book next year! ๐

the entire concept of knighthood and bodyguards especially in fiction is inherently homoerotic. you've devoted your entire life to protecting this one person? you willingly risk your life for them everyday? ok i know what you are

coming out of two weekends of cons and just gotta say: publicists are magicians. Not only are they nice and wonderful and patient and deal with authors at their most stressed/frazzled, they're also wizards with travel and ensure people are fed/happy even if things are on fire
