This is the kind of one-star review that makes me want to read a book.
A one star book review reading in part “it is a horrible piece of Gen X nonsense.”

This is episode 5 but episode 6 released today.
While everything in the world is crazy least we can all still make art. This is mine. And it is currently still free on itch

A chapbook zine sits on a fluffy background. There are embellishments drawn onto the photo. Has a yellow and black cover and states a gun is the thing with feathers by Adorne Sibley. It is an ink block print containing a lion, broken eggs, tentacles, bone runes, guns, and more.

I loved Compound Fracture. I thought it was an important portrayal of what the daily life of a trans person can be like, and of a community coming together to push back. I also learned of another piece of America's abusive history 🙄

The YA novel Compound Fracture set against a backdrop of a dead tree and brown and grey bushes and leaves.

I've worked through another draft and sent it to my mentor for feedback. Next, I will be planning some significant structural and developmental edits. Looking forward to the next stage of editing 😊

Go support some small creators! Such a fantastic bundle 😻 I'm biased because I'm in it too but it still doesn't stop the bundle from being such a good deal.

I have had blast reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series the past few weeks. It is a gory, action-packed dungeon game that is also hilarious and totally out of control

Hi, folks.

I'll be sending out a newsletter next week. If you'd like to sign up at my website (www.angelaslatter.com) I'll be giving away a very rare copy of the novella version of The Tallow-Wife, a limited edition hardcover with art by @tanaudel (2017) for Conflux. There are only 50 in the world.

After some time off and plenty of fatigue, I am slowly getting back into my manuscript. Edits on Chapter 6 are almost complete. Tomorrow, I head into a rewrite of Chapter 7.

This is an excellent overview of Amazon alternatives that is international friendly!

I know, its late in 2025 to share a blog with Amazon alternative stores, subscription services, library apps etc.

But I wanted to include those -with notes for indie authors- in reflections on why I pulled my ebooks from Zon in May, & some thoughts on marketing wide/ after Amazon. 📚💙

Fatigue and busyness has prevented me from writing much this week but am doing light line edits on Chapter 7 to ease back in. A little writing is better than none.
