Hey book reviewers! Got a burning question but were too shy, embarrassed etc. to ask? Like what if you had a crap experience reading a book you’ve promised to review? Something else?

Let me know and I might use it in a promo video to celebrate the one-year anniversary for my guide book.

TIA!

I have reset my launch date for my new podcast since I'd rather launch once everything that can be put in place for the best viewer experience is indeed put in place.

Please consider subscribing to the channel and be among the first to enjoy screaming along with the rest of us dark cultured folks.

Had a blast on the 102.7 CKMS radio show today with host, Suzanne Craig-Whytock. Thanks to the @kwwriters.bsky.social for organizing this.
If you missed me reading a few drabble stories and the intro for my reviewer's guidebook, I'll post a link to the recording once I have it to share.

In celebration of my upcoming birthday, I bribed (not really) @crystallake.bsky.social to reduce my reviewer's guide to only 99 cents for a very limited time.

About to dive into this gorgeous book by Canadian Bram Stoker winning author, @aijiang.bsky.social. I look forward to chatting with her on my Dark Bites podcast once I've read this.

Enjoyed a super tasty lunch at a fairly new Pho with my partner in crime yesterday. The day marked a decade of tolerating me and for that, I am grateful.

And yes, I totally did a washroom selfie because even that was stylishly laid out among the impressive array of blossoms and LED décor.
