I'm looking for people who'd like to review my novel THE FACE OF PAIN. I'll send the first 4 people who message me a hardcopy of the book! (I'll be doing this on my other socials, too.)

Bailey's favorite toys are her emoji squeaks. She likes to leave them around the house in places we'll accidentally step on them -- which we usually do!
