Did you know that the audiobook for my sapphic pirate horror QUEEN O'NINE TAILS' just dropped? 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈

If you like snarky, good-with-their-hands spies who are Definitely, For Sure, Not At All attracted to the hot but unhinged pirate queens who capture them, then this is going to (ahem) float your boat.

That's the dev edits for The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley all done! Final polish, then back to my editor tomorrow for (hopeful) approval.

Charlotte Lucas from Unlikely Pursuit and Caroline Bingley in Miseducation could NOT be more different: wallflower MC versus mean girl MC. Deeply fun.

Wild that I haven't seen 'Return to Seoul' or 'On Falling' on any Best Of film lists yet. Both are in my top 50 movies of the whole century thus far!

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask
A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch: 
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's	  	
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."
