Spread the word. This is a great time to check out a book and get an amazing author on the NYT Best Sellers list.

It’s release day!
I am all official. For the first time in my life I don’t just have a book out, I have an audiobook!
It’s in stores I have never spoken to—yesterday it was on the Netgalley homepage! It’s been featured in the Library Journal and I have multiple upcoming appearances in just October!

My phone’s note app is full of weird little things, especially for book 2 and I love that one is just,

“Get Avery a lamp” as if I was going to swing by the store to buy my awkward changeling detective a present.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

Giggling. Remembering when I had to QA movie packages for work and make sure things like this didn’t happen. It was tedious. But it still hilarious when studios would send a package with this kind of mistake.
If the cast of Saved By The Bell had to recreate Saved! Who would be who?

Hey look, Temu is ripping off my book cover!

Does this mean we've made it?

If you want to buy the book for real and support me, my publisher, and THE AMAZING ARTIST WHO DESIGNED THIS COVER (Lisa Perrin), you should buy the book, not this stolen junk.

Once again, not a birthday wish, a birthday request. You have until 10/7 to pre-order. Apparently, some B&Ns (1 of the options to pre-order) may already have physical books to purchase. I would love for my friend to make the NYT Best Sellers list.

Let's make it happen!

I need your help. One of my events is at the most adorable freaking bookshop in Sierra Madre, and I need my east-side LA cozy murder mystery / fantasy lovers to know about it.

We're gonna have a night of witchy talk and book reading for my launch too!
