It's really happening - I'm going to be a published author. (I finally get to start an author account!)
I've been negligent in actually posting a pic of JUST the cover of my book. Mega-thanks to @jeremyjohnparker.bsky.social for such a great cover!

A blurb and the pre-order link...this is getting REAL!

IT'S OFFICIAL! (And it's oddly fitting that after writing a satire about the publishing industry, they spell my name wrong in the announcement. 😉) Coming 2026! Personally, I think this book is hilarious...but obviously I am biased.
Writing novels wasn't supposed to be a bloodsport. But that's exactly what happens after novelist Mackenzie Lane concocts a risky publicity stunt to revive his failing career. Written by newcomer @joezagets-author.bsky.social. Coming 2026.

Current read! This is a very interesting - and timely - book. And it gives a much more comprehensive (and necessary) definition for "cult" than what we usually think of.

Interestingly, I haven't read this particular novel about writers - but for a good reason: At the time when it was published I was working on my own little satire about authors, and I didn't want any of YELLOWFACE to bleed accidentally into my book. It's probably safe to read it now!

Ready for another novel about writers??
Do readers love books about writers as much as authors do?? 🤔

Continuing with my theme of novels about writers... Hmm, is there a reason I'm so fixated on this?? 🤔

You may start seeing a theme develop here...it isn't a coincidence that I enjoy novels about writers. 😉

I'm late to the game (story of my life) - but better late than never, right? I really need to read the rest of S.A. Cosby's books!!
