From author A.K. Forester…
Shortage: Cloaked in Dogma is writing-on-the wall, colloquially blended into a double arc fictional suspense/thriller/mystery tale inspired by real vulnerabilities. Make no mistake, while the self-serving antagonists introduced in part 1 are artful manipulators, they are not the adversary we all should fear.
With Shortage: Cloaked in Dogma you’ll be able to join a singular investigator as they unveil far worse risks of future devastating drug shortages than any pharma overlord wants exposed.
The wait is over 🤩. The unique distribution plan of the gratis copies of the limited pre-release part 1 only edition of Shortage: Cloaked in Dogma has begun 🥳! This unique part one only pre-release will be solely for those who love a bit of scavenging!

Follow this Instagram account for clues about which Little Free Libraries or coffee shop book lending nooks or airport “take a book, leave a book” carts or anywhere similar – have received a copy!

But if that’s the case, then just message this account with your general location – and we’ll let you know if there were any other nearby drop-off spots.

The first part of this tale, “Nemo Mori Debuit” (No one should have died), has been released separately to introduce you to the peerless Tori Peterson. It won’t be long before you’re thinking “I want to be like Tori when I grow up.” A feeling that will be affirmed as part one concludes with Tori ripping apart a selfish subversion that created a regional cancer drug shortage – mere days after launching her investigation. But dangling threads that Tori uncovers in her initial investigation, are going to unravel a far more ominous scheme in part two.
