Inflation’s biting everyone in the butt lately and I wanted to do something about it. So I grabbed 3 of my fave fantasy stories, chopped the price, and released ’em in this collection I’m calling WOMEN OF WONDER. You save 70% over buying each story separate!

Check out that shiny shiny book cover (made with #Inkscape)!
