THE NIGHT IS NOT FOR YOU is out!

This spooky novel is inspired by folk traditions of the Arabian Peninsula and the Maldives, rural SW Saudi, psychological suspense, and our effed up world.

My thoughts on The Queen of Fives by @alexhaybooks.bsky.social is over on instagram now. I do believe I referred to it as “rip-roaring”. It is, and I loved it!
