So yeah, three reasons I do NOT want you to buy my book.
Wishing everyone participating in the strike and the accompanying protests as much safety as possible.

2) I do not want you to buy my book from Amazon.
3) I do NOT want you to buy my book if you are a bigot. Period. End of story.

Goes to show that not every book will be for me even in my fave genres. Not like I'm lacking for books to read in any case given the 100+ish physical books on my TBR mountain. So yeah. An early 2026 reminder that life's too short NOT to DNF a book when I have this many lolsob. #booksky #amreading

Thanks so much! And awesome - I hope you enjoy it! And it was a total surprise. I was just googling the book to see if it had been pirated (as one does) and saw it pop up on a site I didn't recognize - sure enough it was a nomination page lololol

What I think gets lost in the writing to market discussion is the definition of the market.
There are 2 markets:
1. the general market of readers. Who is the biggest pool that spends money and what do they read
2. your ideal readers and what they like about YOUR work in particular.
