thanks, Gabino! It's still not July 15, so my latest novella, Amusement Park Arcana is still in preorders! Backrooms meets Action Park in 1994 🎢🎠🎡 books2read.com/AmusementPar...

salmon/cotton candy pink background with a book cover and a cover blurb on it:

book cover:a very washed out/faded picture of a lit-up ferris wheel in a hazy summer sunset, with "Amusement Park Arcana" over it in black writing.

Jennifer R. Donohue is at the bottom.

cover blurb: Riley's best friend Tara went missing last October from the shitty amusement park where she worked. By spring, the police are no closer to having any answers, so Riley's taking it in her own hands.

She just knows Tara's still at the park somewhere, and an uncanny phone call on Riley's first day as a park employee only confirms that. The quest to bring Tara or her body home draws Riley further from her family and her boyfriend as she spends more time in the park's liminal spaces and opening day looms large.
