I'll level with you, I know writing a review can be a pain in a$$. That's why I made a template for writing them! Yay! Reviews or ratings (if you're short on time/words), really do help authors and small presses boost our titles in the algorithms.

Behold my cover reveal for Project Duplicity at GCLS Albany! There are 300 squares & each person will get a piece of the puzzle in their welcome bag (on left). All you need to do is match the number on the piece to the board (on right). By the end of the conference, everyone will see!
