My Spoonie romance novel, It’s All In Your Head, comes out in four months!!
A graphic and blue that says out in four months! And then a cover of my book in purple. Next to it is a crinkly piece of paper graphic with a calendar on it and February 10 is circled. At the bottom it says available for pre-order now
