It’s a Lollapalooza!

Oh yes, this is impressive![image error]

Six full-length novels.

Two complete series.

One boxed set.

All of that by two Amazon #1 bestselling authors.

I got together with Kathryn Dionne and we assembled an amazing boxed set of books. We’ve included her Savannah Swift Psychic Mystery Series – the first book, Six Mile Canyon, was a bestseller in it’s category after its release in 2016.
