Short & friendly reviews are my specialty.
Also knock-your-socls-off blurbs for back covers.
🤞 Fingers crossed.

Asking his "good friend" - yikes.

Not longer - but my B&N paperback is laid out with much better dimensions (10" x 7").
I am holding it in this photo.
When they sent me the AMZ version of the bound-galleys, the text + artwork were way too close to the margins.
How does it look on Kindle, Claire?
Is it cramped?

Yes, a middle-schooler who craves "look at me" attention.
Those 💩 stains 💩 will never come off Muskrat now.
💯 Mike, you summed it up perfectly. 💯

Grief is a privilege and a chance for self-dramatization.
5 stages??
If you have not been loved, then that person's death is merely "an event" - not a loss
If you want to monetize grief, then 💰Joan Didion's book 💰 is a fine example.

Who knows what these "witchy" books are like -- but FREE is free, yes? 📖 😀

"The Curse" is intrinsic to the werewolf story, yes?

Claire, I am an October Scorpio.
🎃 I often sneak Hallowe'en into my books - even if the collection does not say it. 😉

🌟 🖤 THANK YOU, Claire 🎃 👻
FYI: The B&N version is much larger than the one sold on AMZ.
My book "Always Haunted" has two different ISBNs -- because the size is not identical.
🎨 Interior illustrations are by Erin Caldwell. 🎨

You have to wonder if Musk is just trying to do his own anti-MAGA P.R. here, right??
Or is he being honest?

Thank you very much, Dawn.
🧶I rarely sent out "Merletto" (81-line poem).
Really thrilled @the-engine-idling.bsky.social dedicated Issue 6 to YARN 🧶 & my lace-making poem fit right in.
Growing up I felt inferior to my convent-raised grandmothers, alchemists of the textile arts, gifted, talented.

✂️ Danielle, I still have that "stork scissors" - a sewing implement once owned by my grandmother!
I teared up when I saw it.

Yes, I saw the two Norwegian homeowners interviewed a few days ago.
Fortunately, no one was harmed.
No houses were damaged.
Miraculous, eh?

An editor at Kinpaurak gave me valuable advice for improving my piece - spot on - & I'm revising it now.
