Very happy to make personal dedications should anyone fancy one. I seem to be particularly good at affectionate insults.
You can order SIGNED & DEDICATED copies of "Interesting Stories about Curious Words", the new book by @susiedent.bsky.social

It's published next week, so still time to have a personally dedicated copy of your own.

Get one HERE!

When I turned 40, I had 320 short story rejections and no books published. A few years later, I've published a short story collection and two novels with another on the way. Believe in yourself like someone who loves you.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

Shooting a follow to some people to get the numbers up. The more people that migrate away, the better community that's built.

Reading I've done recently to get an understanding of current events and how we've got here:
- The Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges
- Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher
- The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism by George Monbiot.

Any more recs let me know

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️

The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
