If anyone ever wants to collab on a shirt for their book, let me know!

The main character of my upcoming sci-fi horror release VEIL (9/16) owns a bookstore called The Constant Reader Café (because he's a huge Stephen King fan). An amazing reader named Sarah Bartz and her talented sister-in-law Stephanie Sorrenson created this design and t-shirt, and I love it!!!
