AHHHH BACK AT YOU BOTH! I'm finishing my final dev edits on it now and oh boy, Caroline is hysterical to write. A lot of swishing through rooms and thinking she's right about everything.

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

i love that no one has even questioned the thigh bone thing

I'm so proud of my sweetheart Z, and the creepy-but-incredible book she wrote! So gross in one part that she made ME say "jesus christ why" (and I once wrote someone masturbating with an unattached thigh bone)

I'm actually just finishing my dev edits on the second one now, which is about Caroline Bingley! UPoMB is much more sweet and romantic and tender, with a big focus on flowers.
