My very first audiobook is out today!!! Such a dream come true!!! I’d love it if you’d check it out 🥰🖤

@draft2digital.bsky.social has made the inane decision to charge a yearly fee to anyone that make less than $100 per year, indicating that such accounts may be AI slop. This punishes indie publishers in particular, but it especially punishes members of a shared revenue project. (1/5)

Woo SMITFOABD hit 100 ratings on GoodReads! Thank you to everyone who has given it a chance 🥰🖤

My debut horror collection, Greener Pastures, is 10 (!!!) years old today. That’s pushing 250 in book age, but it is still finding readers all these years later. And I’m still blubberingly grateful.

So excited to have my story “Somatic” in the upcoming anthology NEED! Look at that lineup! 🖤🎉

The month’s not over and these ladies deserve to be read year round! @tanyapell.bsky.social @angelasylvaine.bsky.social @vslaw.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @emmaemurray.bsky.social @ceejthemoment.bsky.social @powerlibrarian.bsky.social
