Earlier today my awesome publisher @infestedpublishing.bsky.social revealed the cover for my collection. @cutfingers.bsky.social killed it!!! Sins of my Sisters is a collection of short stories full of ghosts, devil worshipers, possessed women and mothers with their hands drenched in blood 😈

Sins of my Sisters by JV Gachs in broken golden letters over a classic statue of a woman.
