Instead of a typical Patreon preview, I'd love to introduce you to VALENCE, my audio drama! For Book 3, I'll be talking with Josh Rubino, voice of VALENCE protagonist Liam (and Liam's many inner voices, and a million other characters in audio drama). I think if you like Animorphs, there's a good chance you'll enjoy VALENCE -- especially with my Tobias-coded baby boy, protagonist Liam Alden.
