I’ll be Johnny’s conversation partner that night and we’ll be doing Q&A, but one answer I can give right now — I am NOT the cover artist on this book and that’s not my cover. 🙂 Just finished reading the ARC and it’s an incredible read. You’re gonna love it. 🔥🔥🔥 /2 cc: @sacurrent.bsky.social

Greg said that he knows the store’s site is temporarily down because of the volume of orders on Sunday. Said that employees will help him get it running again on Monday. He’s grateful for everyone’s patience.
