Rinsed this in two days. Incredibly enjoyable and imaginative. I love a book that has characters you want to be friends with. I'm off to find more @garethlpowell.bsky.social to read. ☺️

The hotel I stayed in on Saturday night emailed to say I left my wallet and some documents in the safe in my hotel room. I didn't use the safe, and I have my wallet right here. So, whose are they? This feels like the start of a mystery novel...

As promised: I will reopen to queries June 16th for two weeks or until my inbox hits 750 submissions (as it did last time I opened for eleven days!). I love a strong voice and a multi-layered work. Looking for a unique thriller/suspense/mystery, fantasy, horror, or edgy romance particularly!
