Taking @richardgthomas3's classes were life-changing for me and took my understanding of short stories, and my novel-writing, to the next level. I owe him a colossal debt for all he has done and continues to do in helping writers discover who they are and how to push themselves.
I have ONE spot left in my Contemporary Dark Fiction class, which starts on September 2nd. 16 weeks. Email me at richardgthomasiii@gmail.com and I'll give you 50% off. Click the link to read about the class. #RT

I still quite like this alternative audiobook cover for THE WAY OF UNITY, though it is probably a bit obscure, speaking to the symbolic elements of the religion in the book over the characters' experience. 🎨Image of deities Siatka and Kshidol, illustrated by Andy Paciorek.
