All In The Details

  Spycraft and Technology AKA when an old school spy (that's Arthur, the blond on the right) has to work with a new school spy (that's Harun, bottom left). By the way, this gorgeous book cover was drawn by artist Elizabeth Barrette . This is my first 'book details' post on my new blog!

I wrote my spy novella, Jingle Jingle Kill , in 2025, in the middle of summer, but after having had the initial idea the Christmas prior.
