Yep, there is a new story in the Salmon Run series! In the aftermath of the earthquake Hawk and Zach Callahan get a surprise: their lodge has been appointed a long-term shelter for those who’s homes were destroyed. In the midst of it all, the aliens reveal themselves to Zach and Sasha’s families, but for [...] The Indie Author. So many challenges, so much to learn.
