When a fellow writer reads your book with care, wr When a fellow writer reads your book with care, writes about it, recommends it, and then buys the print edition too — that is support you don’t forget. 🙌🏾💃🏾

I’m so grateful to Christina @fierypen, who received an ARC of Distorted Is The View, shared this generous early praise, posted a full review on Amazon and Goodreads, and has now welcomed the paperback into her hands.

Thank you, Christina, for helping this story travel further, and for your steady support. Much appreciated! 🙏🏾💜
