I'm thrilled to present you my new novel, LOVE LETHAL, DEATH DIVINE, coming in April 2026 from Dark Matter Ink.
It's all the things I usually obsess about: Slavic gods and cursed deals, political turmoil, trauma, revenge and duty - but this time with a hefty dose of love 💀

If billionaires used 1% of what they invest in AI to support artists, this would be a much better world.
I'm so tired of those in power choosing to do harm over and over and over again.

Should I go maximalist, or keep it minimalist? 👀

A hand holding an embroidery hoop with cream felt. The letter beads read "this email could have been a duel | fight me".

A sword and flail, as well as spike studs, are attached to the felt.

That's how I feel - the newsletters are mostly there to communicate with the readers you already have

Jelena @jelenawrites.bsky.social · 8d

I hear so often that newsletters are the key to book marketing, but honestly, I subscribe only if I know the author and personally care about them. And even then, I rarely have the time to read them.
Do you subscribe to authors' newsletters?
Do you read them?
