It's publication day! #BarnGothic has been released into the wild.
You know that you can never get someone else's story perfectly right, but I hope it's close enough that my family, my community, and family farmers everywhere can see themselves in it.

I’m in Australia, but looking for an Amazon alternative I haven’t found better than the Irish bookstore @kennysbookshop.bsky.social - I often get discounts that effectively cover shipping, delivery times are good, and they ain’t Jeff. :-)

We're sorry to see this happened to our friends at the lovely @booksupstairs.bsky.social last night. Thankfully everyone is okay!
A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual
