I'm thrilled to present you my new novel, LOVE LETHAL, DEATH DIVINE, coming in April 2026 from Dark Matter Ink.
It's all the things I usually obsess about: Slavic gods and cursed deals, political turmoil, trauma, revenge and duty - but this time with a hefty dose of love 💀

That's how I feel - the newsletters are mostly there to communicate with the readers you already have

Jelena @jelenawrites.bsky.social · 4d

I hear so often that newsletters are the key to book marketing, but honestly, I subscribe only if I know the author and personally care about them. And even then, I rarely have the time to read them.
Do you subscribe to authors' newsletters?
Do you read them?

I might have inadvertently joined the fat bear week and now the only reasonable thing to do is go hibernate until spring in the hope that the fat will melt off by itself.
