It's paperback release day for PENNIES-a Blight Harbor prequel-and my author copies just showed up on my porch. There's something special about this book for me. Maybe it's just that I love these four girls so much. Plus I'm super-extra in love with this cover by @redolaf.bsky.social and Karyn Lee

They are here!

It's here! The first graphic novel by my friend @redolaf.bsky.social is here! Everyone in my house is excited to read it. I've had the honor of working with Alfredo for the entirety of the Blight Harbor series and could not possibly be happier to celebrate the publication of his first solo book. 🖤
