Why you keep doing this to me, Laurel? Another nailbiting, cryptid-filled, badass adventure in which a grief-filled heroine does the shit she needs to do to avenge her loved ones.

Someone, somewhere along the line got a hold of my author email address and apparently sold it for leads, because I've been getting a non-stop stream of BS book marketing emails. 🤬

It's alarming that so many politicians and political entities have been meme-machines intent on "trolling" the opposition. Strike that. It's fucking disgusting, juvenile, and wholly inappropriate for people that are supposed to be governing.

Far too many people are comfortable becoming "paid assholes" on social media. I wonder if they're assholes for free in their real lives. What a bargain!
