If you need a timely story—it opens with with Black Tuesday, the start of the Great Depression—that ends with HEA for a woman who was abused, maligned and forgotten, I got you. It’ll soothe ya.

Bonus: set in Appalachia without classist tropes 🖤

If you need a distraction (can’t imagine why!!!), I appear several times, discussing everything from ETA Hoffman’s The Nutcracker to Shakespeare’s Macbeth (with @lillahlawson.bsky.social) to Judy Blume’s Forever (which might be my personal favorite).
Compiled a list of FBOL episodes already recorded today and this isn't even a *complete* list (I've scrapped a few, both because of guest and subject), and we've done– get this– 151 shows.

Can you believe it?

Disassociated into Miss Scarlet and the Duke on PBS last night for like 3 1/2 hours and I regret nothing.

Honestly, I prefer PBS over most things going forward.

I hesitated between Threads and here to see where friends and industry peers would go and ended up on Threads. Now that I’m used to it everybody’s migrating again and apparently my folks were posting more on here anyway. I wish I wasn’t in a field that relied on networking because it’s exhausting. 😅

Hi all. I’m still trying to decide if this platform or Threads is better for me, as I don’t know that I have the bandwidth to do both! But, here I am! Just another small press author trying to sell a book or two. 🖤
