When Bryan Camp says your novel will "linger in you like a bullet," you know you've written something that hits hard. So grateful for this stunning blurb for THE LADY, THE TIGER AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH

Two days left to snap up High Vaultage on ebook for 99p/c, a frankly ridiculous price that only further proves the insanity of late-capitalism-flavoured technology that we spent 400 pages writing jokes about. Grab a copy! https://t.co/GfEKGbjZJp

Objection!
Morning sunshine ☀️ snoozles for two puppers who have never done anything wrong in their lives, your Honour. Certainly not borked at all the squirrels or ever rolled in anything unspeakably foul. The defence rests.
