Urban fantasy author and narrator. My books tackle complex topics, though usually in a darkly humorous way. https://benschenkman.com Member of Caffeinated Terrier Press https://caffeinatedterrierpress.com
Isn't that a GORGEOUS cover? I don't even have a story in this book, only the foreword, and *I'm* delighted with the cover!

Something pretty cool happened the other day: I found my "pay it forward" book in the Little Free Library down the street! Scrolled back through IG, turns out I put it in there in late July 2023, prompted by my friend @sarawhizbanger.bsky.social who was helping me get the word out about the book. 🙂

If you're not reading CE Murphy as an urban fantasy (and more) heavyweight, what are you doing? She's reading Let Sleeping Gods Lie, book one of The Chronicles of Corbin Pierce, which means you probably should too.
