The Mentor is on a countdown sale this weekend at Amazon. It’s starts June 29 and runs through August 4. It’s in the US store and the UK store (although the UK store uses slightly different dates).

Get it now!

You know how these things work. First ones to pick it up get the best deal. If you like the story, leave a review! I will happily pick this story up and write 11 more, if enough people express an interest in reading more.
