Crossed Genres Publications is extremely thrilled to announce that we’ve agreed to publish the debut novel of Sabrina Vourvoulias! INK is a dark near-future extrapolation of the current climate in the United States surrounding immigration. This stunning novel explores the personal impact of the escalation from rhetoric to execution.
