1. No, it's a novel, it just has some great cover art from the amazing Sam Kennedy. Look him up on the net, he's fantastic.

2. I'm one of several "Wayland Smith"s as far as I can tell. I actually have at least one book on my author page that isn't mine, which I keep meaning to report.

Thanks for the interest. (less)

Content warning- sexual assault and domestic violence are parts of this book. They don't happen on screen, but are referenced a lot. If those make you uncomfortable, you might want to skip this. Which would be a shame, as it's a fun story.
