FORETOLD out tomorrow!!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the release day for FORETOLD: 14 Tales of Prophecy and Prediction!  It seems that this entire year has sort of snuck past me!  So in celebration of release week, I thought I'd post the first line from each of the stories to hopefully whet your appetite for more!  I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such fabulous authors and to include their really amazing stories in this anthology!

If you're interested in reading more, here are links to purchase FORETOLD: 14 Tales of Prophecy and Prediction: IndieBound | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books a Million | Walmart.

Also, just a note to say that if you're interested in ordering a copy of FORETOLD signed by me, you can do so through my local indie, Park Road Books (info here).

I hope y'all enjoy reading these stories as much as I did!
