I remember when my mum, who taught kindergarten and grade one, first brought home Franklin in the Dark, probably in the late 1980s. It's stuck in my head ever since. There is nothing so kind or gentle as the Franklin books. I am seething with rage.

My book is on this site. It's out of print in its print edition, so literally the only money I make from it is from ebook royalties. That amounts to, like, $40-$80 CDN per year at this point. "But authors are so rich!"
In completely unrelated news, libraries are awesome.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.
