Tk you so much for this kind review of amuk @ninearchespress.bsky.social (& connecting it to ULTIMATUM ORANGUTAN… Makes me think of my books as being in a relay race, passing on the baton). 🙏🏼

Honored to publish your work @barbmel.bsky.social
When I moved house last year, I felt forced to erase parts of myself; my neurodivergences, my chronic conditions, and the traumatic aches of nostalgia.

I wrote about the unsettling overwhelm.

Thank you to @wordgathering for giving my story a home of its own.
