taking stock of my bookshelf in light of the books I received for crimbles, and some rearranging is required
my fungi/folklore/occult shelf is now overcrowded and needs to be relocated to a larger shelf...possibly along with the horror?
I'll see what fits where 🔍

Might be looking for ARC readers for this soon btw. If you like funny and touching books, keep an eye out (or DM me so I can see if I can get you added to the list. Not sure what the limit is yet).
Cover reveal for my new LGBTQ+ adult RomCom EAST END BOYS AND WEST END GIRLS. It'll be released on 26th April. Pre-order info coming sometime in the new year. Published through Spectrum Books.

My bank account is going into overdraft. I had some unforeseen emergency expenses that I couldn't afford and it screwed me. My internet bill needs to be paid and a cloud service that holds all of my personal files. I have books for sale on my Kofi, or you can donate. PLEASE DON'T DONATE LARGE SUMS!
