Just got some snazzy stickers from @penamerica.bsky.social for my author copies. But me thinks the whole cover is due for a little facelift with this and another fun announcement coming soon.
Stay tuned!

As Ray Wylie Hubbard sang, “the days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days.” I never expected to even make the longlist, and I am forever grateful for it.
Congrats and good luck to @haydenmcasey13.bsky.social and the other @penamerica.bsky.social finalists!
