JOIN US AT THE VIRTUAL CAFÉ!
Welcome to Virtual Author Coffee Chats—a series I originally curated with authors who blurbed THE MORTALITY SHOT, all of whose writing I love. Last November, the cafe expanded to include authors who have new work out and have read mine, too. Get to know some amazing humans by sitting around a virtual cafe table with us.
