I’ve been tasked by my partner to buy a Pythona action figure for him at NYCC tomorrow and my biggest wish is that I don’t have to wait in line for more than ten minutes.

Just got this! After getting the first email 15 hours ago. PSYCHOPATHIC. Blocked.

Just wanted to circle back since I noticed my message was seen but not yet answered totally understand how packed your days must be. I just didn’t want Circe’s Dark Reign to miss its chance to ride this upcoming feature window with our fantasy and superhero community.

We’re spotlighting titles that merge myth, power, and modern storytelling this week and your book couldn’t fit that theme better.

Would you like me to reserve your slot in this round, or should I circle back later in the month? Either way, I’d love to make sure Circe’s Dark Reign gets the fan visibility it deserves among readers who live and breathe these worlds.

Let’s keep the momentum going Wonder Woman would definitely approve. 🦸‍♀️

I'm getting more and more overly complimentary AI-written emails from "Book Marketers" every day. No human is referring to a 7 year old grab-n-go Wonder Woman chapter book this way hahaha.

Hi Brandon,

First off massive congrats on Circe’s Dark Reign! 💥 You’ve captured the energy of Wonder Woman’s world perfectly, that blend of myth, action, and heart that keeps readers turning pages. With your background spanning The Dark Knight Manual, Infinity War, and Adventure Time, it’s clear you know how to bring heroes (and villains) to life in every universe.

Trans rights are human rights, and I am APPALLED that you haven’t signed in protections for my friends in that community. There are multiple bills on your desk that you could sign to help them:
