Excellent thread!
Let's talk about books and the public trust.
📚🧵
Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:
Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.

PSA: due to monumental stupidity on the part of yours truly, Pete's Press currently does not have a functional phone.
In 2025 it feels redundant to say this, but for now, *please don't call us.*
We respond to email, bluesky/Instagram DM, and occasionally, loud meowing.
SORRY!

Had to do some stock taking in preparation for our Black Cat book sale and the holiday markets coming up.
We've sold out of two titles but the remaining spread is still pretty impressive!

Second and third novels, particularly in series, elevate the sales of first novels as they continue to hook readers. Once a reader decides they love your novel (whichever one they read) they are highly likely to chase down other novels by you. Fans. The real power.

Just a warning, some subscription packs will be going out a little late this month due to @petespress.bsky.social 's trip to Toronto.
On the other hand, this means there's still time to sign up for a random, thought provoking nonfic book!
