Blurb for NOTSR from Crissy Van Meter! Her novel, Creatures, is haunting & beautiful—full of heartbreak, forgiveness, grieving the loss of the natural world. All things that—if you’ve ready any of my work—are themes I’m constantly thinking about. It’s gorgeous & complex & I loved it so much.

Full cover for North of the Sunlit River is here! I can’t stop looking at it—the colors, the sneaky little elements, the overall tone that matches the story perfectly. Just a little over 3 months to go! Have you pre-ordered yet? ☺️
