Pardon the hooplah, but it's been a long time: My new novel Kosha is officially coming your way. I love it and hope you will too. The amazing @naomialderman.bsky.social calls it "Nosferatu meets Generation Kill"; man, I love that. Huge thanks to blackstonepublishing.com & @brendandeneen.bsky.social.
