My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

I've decided that the fact that none the characters in my book have last names is part of the world building.

It's not because I'm too lazy to come up with last names.

Me: I'm just going to Costco for diapers.
Costco: What about some brownie mix.
Me: Brownies do sound good. Maybe I'll just get one.
Costco: Six.
Me: What?
Costco: There's six pans worth of brownie mix in each box.
Me: Can I get less?
Costco: No.

[That night a dinner]

Me: Who wants brownies?

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?
