My first book, released in March 2023 has hit 700 Zon ratings. Never in a million years did I think that was going to happen. Thank you to all those who read it and sent me on this wild ride! #firstcontact #sciencefictionbooks #sciencefiction #scfibooks #scifi

Top half: The cover of the novella "The Scroungers" by Thomas J Devens, featuring three main characters walking through a gloomy medieval city.
Text to the right that says: "The Scroungers: gritty fantasy, mired in the mud and the blood and the filth of mankind. 0.99"

Under that is the banner for the Narratess Indie Book Sale. A chonky dragon reads a book at the bottom, a pile of skulls with a candle and ghost sit on the left of the text, and a space ship flies by a planet on the right of the text.
