Two-Bit Tart (Julie Seyler) @twobittart.bsky.social · 7d

My favorite moment was bringing "our corner" of the event freshly-baked zucchini bread...it acted as an ice breaker and brought a sense of community. I'm going to try to do that going forward!

Back-to-Back bookish Sundays. Last Sunday, a Q&A Event at Arvida Book Co. (we sold out of my book!) and this Sunday, the Belmont Shore Book Fair.

I love the chance to share stories, answer questions, and meet readers of Gluten for Punishment. This upcoming Sunday, I rest! #Booksky

Just realized my book has 25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews on Amazon.

I'm grateful to everyone who’s joined me for pie, cookies, and a few questionable dates along the way. #indieauthor #booksky

Dessert will never dump you. Gluten for Punishment is a sharply observant, deliciously personal story about dating, desire, and dessert. Part memoir, part cookbook, it’ll resonate with anyone who’s burned a few bridges…and their fair share of cookies.

Trying to move the needle this week. Although book sales have been strong, reviews have been slow coming in. I'm up to 17 reviews with a goal of 20 for the week.

I know it's NOT all about the numbers, but the more reviews, the better chance I have of getting this book in more hands.

It’s not the New York Times, but...

Gluten for Punishment just hit #1 in the Culinary Biography category with major indie book distributor IngramSpark.

Thank you to all who read, baked from, and shared this sweet (and sometimes bittersweet) journey.
