New book July 7: Don't Look Away!

Hey all, sorry I haven't been active here, though I've been told it's often a good idea for authors to stay away from their Goodreads and just let the discussions happen. However, for any of you who follow me and are interested in another book: "DON'T LOOK AWAY" is a crime thriller coming out on July 7 2026! I hope you'll add it to your shelf and pre-order if the mood should strike you.
