Curse Me By Your Name synopsis + cover reveal! I finished Curse Me By Your Name last night! So to celebrate I’m dropping the synopsis + cover that I drew for my first mini-bomination (chapbook)!

What’s a competitive phone game that the masses are playing that has a leaderboard etc? This is so dumb, of all the things I’ve had to research for this story…this is the one I need to phone a friend for. “You bitch!” Chocolate yelled, “You beat my _______ score!” (my arsonist cat for attention)
