If anyone would like a signed Erika Piper trilogy for cheaper than in the shops, DM me! I only have a couple of sets left, though…

Would any lovely authors be willing to read the sequel to The Killer’s Christmas List and maybe provide a little quote if you enjoy it? Thanks!!

2024 was already a bin fire of a year for me, personally. Today, it got even worse. My beautiful boy Pedro died. He was 17 and had a fantastic life full of love, but this one really hurts.
