If you pre-ordered Skin Shift, Sibling Rivalry Press is shipping pre-orders early! Each day another reader writes to say it arrived in the mail. My little skin-shifter soldiers are marching! It is also now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and SPD, and always through SRP (support small presses!), so choose your seller if you have yet to order! And if you’d like a taste (and in honor of my mother and Mother’s Day), SRP has a sample poem up on their site: “Substitutions“.
