Live zoom call on 2/15- Christina chatted with Candace, Mike Ennenbach, and Patrick Tumblety about upcoming releases, AuthorCon 3 preparations, the 2024 release schedule and Christina announced her new poetry imprint, Blood Moon, under Uncomfortably Dark Horror. This imprint will be re-releasing the poetry collections by M. Ennenbach and Ronald J. Murray’s new collection, along with signing new poets throughout the year. Tune in for the Live Zoom Call next month for a special author signing announcement.
