Adventures in Crafting with Words

I spent way too much time today creating promos that would fit well on Twitter.  I had been using the book covers, but it's occurred to me that those aren't the right shape for Twitter.  I know.  I know.  Social media is something I'm still getting used to, years later.  It changes.  It becomes confusing.  There's already so many things I'm having to adapt to...

And meet his Sons - Victor Frankenstein Jr Van Brunt
