The Deep Dark Place is out today!
Six years ago, I wrote a short story for a college class. Six years later, that story has transformed into a published novel. That's right, THE DEEP DARK PLACE is out! Right now! You can currently buy a paperback or Kindle e-book (hardcover will be available in the coming days). If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read it right now for free!
Fun fact: you can request a copy through your local library or independent bookstore, which I encourage you to do. We need libraries and bookstores now more than ever.
Thank you to everyone that has supported me over the past year. The extra important people are in the acknowledgements of the book, but so many people have reached out to me with encouragement and excitement, and it means the world!
If you read the book and enjoy it, please consider rating and reviewing on Amazon. Readers find new books by being recommended through the algorithm, and reviews are a big part of that!
I'm so happy to have this out in the world. This is only the beginning!
