y’all, I am so tired and so burnt out and I’ve been trying to draft this for two days and then spent some time trying to figure out the chat thing on Substack (I think I was just chatting with myself? idk) and so I just need to send you the most basic pathetic email kindly asking you to buy my silly little book overflowing with the most irreverent heroine and a hero that takes all her snark, gobbles it up, then begs for more because I love this book so much but I am feeling all of my creative and hustler gears grinding to a halt but I really want this book to do well and I have pretty constant anxiety that it won’t that’s bleeding into stress dreams just in time for publication in one month!!! love that timing!! so cute!!
Barnes & Noble is having a 25% off sale which is dope because we can all benefit from saving a buck but if you like supporting indie bookshops and getting really hot character art, I highly recommend ordering from Malaprop’s or Novel Neighbor (or any of my tour stops if you’re in the area because I’ll have some extra art inserts to pass out weeeeeee)
Speaking of tour, I am so beyond thrilled to announce the one and only
