Greetings, all, and welcome to all my new subscribers! So happy to have you here. I’m deep in book launch shenanigans, so this is a short one. As evidenced by the fact that you are receiving this, I did, in fact, survive pub day with my kids home.

I have now officially entered Absolutely Annoying Author Era™, that magical (read: totally unbearable) time when authors cannot be around other humans without talking about their new books. I really am sorry. We can be…. a lot. But when you’ve spent years pouring your heart into something, and it’s finally, finally real, the excitement short-circuits your social filters. You just want everyone to celebrate with you and FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, BUY YOUR DAMNED BOOK. So — yes.
