I always want to start these with “Guess what??” but then I remember there’s this thing called a post title, so you already know what I’m freaking out about. 🙂 DONN’S SHADOW is now available in all three formats: paperback, ebook, and as of yesterday, audiobook!!

Is crossing paths with a black cat really bad luck? I’ve never thought so. In fact, if you look at my vacation photos, you’ll usually find at least one picture of a black cat.
