Treetop Hollow has been cooking for about 2 years now, and will be coming out this next fall (friggin finally, lol) To be honest, it’s actually my third novel length piece- but the first one that I felt was ready to see daylight.
My novella took 6mo, but I’ve updated it twice since. So. Longer :p

Oh, that sounds interesting. In one of those like, awful ways. I bet that made life at work really interesting with forgeries in play. Just curious- was it forging signatures and paperwork or like, quality goods/art/historical relics?

Sometimes I agree, I think. There are some things that I would love to redo and get rid of the shame for doing it wrong the first time. But other times I can’t help but think that the fuckups were just as integral to getting me where I am.

Hey there! I have not actually, although it sounds super fun.

Although in the interest of transparency, I will say I don't know Jan personally - just another appreciator on Bluesky. :) Glad to have you here though!
