Covid Claus is Coming to Town (Kissing the Coronavirus Chronicles)
<p>In our season finale, Natasha and Damien return to the incredible mind of M.J. Edwards with <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B09MC5MHF4/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Covid Claus is Coming to Town (Kissing the Coronavirus Chronicles)</a>.

Coronavirus is Coming to Town: A Covid-19 Steamy Horror Story
<p>The twisted Christmas tale of COVID, virus, romance(?) and horror. Coronavirus is coming to town: A COVID-19 steamy horror story by K.A.
