Tober Charles Hi Ken

Greetings from London. The internet can be a wonderful thing.

In case you might be interested i have a giveaway running on one of my books, link below.

https://giveaway.amazon.com/p/e747b56...

This one is more of a straight thriller than horror so no worries if it's not your cup of tea.

(Answer is 100)

Have an awesome day.


Ninetailedkat Hi Ken,

Thanks for the friend request.
