The cover for DEAD MOON by Peter Clines, showing a very large domed base on the bleak surface of the Moon with the Earth off in the distance above the horizon.

For no reason whatsoever now felt like a good time to remind you I wrote a book about the Moon. DEAD MOON is a fun, happy story about carefree people who love their job and their coworkers and nothing ever goes wrong and they all live happily ever after.

Photo of the hardcover of the book "The Stranger and the Star" beside the book "How to Fix a Flubbed Summon." Cover of TSATS feature a pink and blue scene of a shadowy guy and girl who look like tarot card characters. Golden filigree decorates the "cards" and a golden heart-shaped key joins their hearts. Cover of HTFAFS shows a middle aged woman in a colorful puffy dress with a potion bandelier standing before a cauldron in a garden and looking spooked while her tea kettle spills.

And if you just like pretty things to put on display, it looks like a shimmering jewel beside its predecessor. 😆
