I believe I see free standard shipping on Bookshop today! If you were thinking of picking up indie books, you can buy them here and save on shipping while supporting a local indie bookstore. Feel free to pick up Countess or Skin Thief. 😀

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

While writing a story I like -> "This is good, I like it! Can't wait for someone to read it!"
Editing that story -> "Oh damn, I am the worst, look at that mess. Oh damn. I should stop writing. Better delete everything."

It has always felt weird (to me) to talk about books, and writing, and editing when the world is on fire.
But then, I wonder if humanity would even be in this position if more people chose reading as their hobby 🥴

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.
