Happy release Krista!

I can't believe it's already official release of this kickstarter! I was so excited when I backed this book in February, so to finally have it is WILD.

Check out @kristawalshauthor.bsky.social on how to grab it directly from her store and Kobo, plus Kindle Unlimited!

Hey, Kickstarter backers, are you ready for a book to be sent out to you next week?

I am so excited that A Hunt Bound in Blood is close to the finish mark! I really need to start promo, but until then what I'll say is:

20+ readthroughs of this 145,000 word novel, and these two still make me swoon!

The wrapper 'round my mind
wrinkles

Folding up my thoughts

Like some kind of spacetime origami

Pulling out my past

So I can change the future

Christie Pits in Toronto is a symbol of the fight against fascism.
This is where people stopped the Nazis in 1933. The haters are trying to come to the park again.
On Sept 13 let's flood the park with people for a non-violent day of resistance to the race haters.
Our streets. Our parks. Our cities.

I have both, but usually forget to mention my ko-fi to people. I should fix that.

But yeah, I've also considered moving my subscription to my own site, but I wonder if people would be hesitant because of name recognition, kind of like the challenges in getting folks to buy direct
