Libraries ARE RADICAL. Supporting them is revolutionary.
They are one of the best things we've ever created and maintained in society and we should all protect them fiercely.

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.
If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

Other films have been more overall influential (like this one), but for passing scenes nothing else comes close.

The 30 second scene in "Titanic," where the camera pans over Rose's photos displaying the fearless and beautiful life she lived, might be the single most influential film moment I know.

Baked homemade bread today and the smell in the house is ...
Is this scent so redolent of comfort because the aroma of loaves has been with us for 1000s of years? Reporting that not only was food grown & harvested but peace abundant enough, as time requires, to prepare?
Or just, f*ck yeah bread!

Thank you to everyone who has bought Skin Thief or Countess, or requested either at the library or written a review about them. You are keeping me writing. Literally. As a new long form writer every single sale matters. I want to write more books for you! I'm writing another right now! 🖤🙏

How To Restore a Timeline is a holiday story about violence and memory. It takes place on a special variant of December 27, 2006—one that never ends, overlapping and consuming all time that dares come after.
And I hear it makes a great gift, available everywhere you buy books.

If you think I talk about my work a lot, it's because it's part of the job. I don't have a marketing team (yet) I AM the team (for now). And the way social media works, you can post the same thing 100xs before someone sees it.
Someone will love your work, but they have to know it exists first ❤️

AGONY’s came during our 1st push at a “full”schedule. An exciting & nerve jangling time where we never knew what would happen (still don’t). But it hit hard for us, because Laura hustled hard for its success, & because it’s such a good fucking book w/a killer central hook that people want to read🖤☠️
Forever proud of this novella.
Have I improved as a writer since? Yes. Do I still love this story and these characters? YES. Do I have impossible sequel ideas? Yes, my good b*tch 🖤
Please purchase from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social , they are the realest of deals 🖤
