I had the honor of being a guest on the Unfortunately...Podcast! If you're a writer who has ever gotten an "Unfortunately..." message, this podcast is for you! It's a writer to writer discussion about craft and how we learn from failures. Here's my episode, but you should listen to them all!
Our scheduled post failed, but YOU didn't listeners -- delighted to see that a bunch of you found our episode with @sasahawk.bsky.social over the weekend.

Independent Bookstore Day is Saturday April 26! It's a great day to support local businesses & stick it to The Zon, who is trying to poach sales with their own event. As for me, I'll be signing UNLOCK THE DARK (and shopping) at Plenty Bookshop and A Little Bookish this weekend!

Canadian friends, please pay attention to this. As a US citizen who is horrified by the crumbling relationship between our countries, I understand why Canada is retaliating our tariffs with their own. But this one hurts Canadian authors too!
Canadians, part of the proposed tariffs for April is a 25% tariffs on books. This would be devastating for Canada's book industry, with very little impact on the US.
You can voice your opposition to this particular tariff using the form below:

The book I just wrote takes place in a magical mountain region in summer. Somehow the meta algorithm figured this out and has been showing me travel reels and ads for Switzerland. Idk what I googled to get these stunning videos, but I don't mind one bit. I think I need to visit...for research! 🤓
