Taking stock of a few things this evening, and while a lot of that isn't fun, I did learn that I've sold around 250 books since September 2024. When I really dig in and gave publishing a serious try.

I was able to write a little on CSOL2 last night—hoping to have a complete draft of the prologue by the end of the week. 🤞
Seeing all the love for the first book since it released last week has me dying to work on the sequel. 💙

New book review 📚💙 THE TIDELINGS OF DRAS SAYVE is a fun, low-stakes novella that ties into @cblansdell.bsky.social's Apidecca Duology, but it can absolutely be read on its own as well.

Book Review 💙📚
THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS plays with a lot of fun ideas, and the people of Winter feel both relatable and alien all at once.
The main character's relationships are the star here, to the point that the ending reminded me of DANCES WITH WOLVES in more ways than one.

It's always a strange feeling when a reader finishes a book of mine—which I spent ~ a year working on—in a single day.
Like, thanks, I'm thrilled you enjoyed it... But I spent a year on that, you could have at least split it up over two days. 😂
