If you've read and enjoyed All Is Bright, I'd appreciate it so much if you could give it a rating or review on the site of your choice!
Your friendly semi-regular reminder that the single greatest way to help your favorite authors is to rate and review the books you've read. Goodreads, Itch, Kindle, they all give you the opportunity to rate/review and it REALLY helps us get visibility!

I’m having a very exciting month so far! One part I can share is I finally got diagnosed with ADHD last week! I started medication today! It might be psychosomatic but I have had a VERY productive day! If this keeps up I might take over the world by 2026!

- today I learned that on this day 40 years ago, my parents held a joint belated wedding reception (they were married Feb ‘85) and party to introduce 20 day old me to their friends <3
