🌟📚 AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT 📚🌟 This week, SpineBreaker Books is thrilled to shine a spotlight on Gevera Bert Piedmont! A neurodivergent cyborg book witch living on the edge of a frog pond in Connecticut, Bert shares her home with her spouse, cats, and an impressive collection of rubber lizards. Her unique voice has captivated horror readers through award-winning works including Fat Monster, The Maw and Other Time-Traveling Lizard Tales, the Mickey Crow paranormal series, and numerous anthologies and editorial projects that have left their mark on the horror community. With an MFA in Creative Writing, certification as a Fictionary StoryCoach developmental editor, and memberships in the Horror Writers Association, Connecticut Authors and Publishers Association, and New England Horror Writers, Bert brings both talent and expertise to every story she tells. 🔥 COMING LATER THIS YEAR FROM SPINEBREAKER BOOKS 🔥 LEET-Z: THE AZTEC MUMMY'S CURSE When disabled physical anthropologist Dr. Leigh Grable is given a second chance at mobility through a sinister corporate experiment, she accepts the price—until an archaeological dig in Mexico uncovers something that should have remained buried forever. Deep inside a sealed cave packed with hundreds of ancient mummies lies evidence not of war, but of a forgotten nightmare: cocoliztli, the devastating hemorrhagic fever that once wiped out millions. As researchers begin dying, towns vanish, and an unstoppable plague resurfaces, Leigh finds herself racing against time, corporate secrets, and her own failing body to prevent a catastrophe that could spread far beyond the excavation site. 🩸 Ancient disease. 🩸 Corporate horror. 🩸 Murder-turkeys. 🩸 Living nanotechnology. 🩸 Aztec mysteries. 🩸 The end of the world may already have begun.
