Paradox and Haven launch

This year I'm launching two books at CCA. The first one is a new post apocalyptic graphic novel and the second one is the 4th and final volume of my thrilller manga series PARADOX. Launching the final volume of PARADOX at CCA is feels like a good farewell to the manga as the first Volume debuted at CCA back in 2019 , so it has come full circle.
