The Night Ship is fishing up some happy netgalley reviews. Someone called it fun, and Publisher's Weekly called it an "unsettling and immersive sci-fi thriller", and that is everything I wanted.
It's still on the 'galley, but if that's not your jam let me know!

Should you be averse to words (what kind of monster are you?!), you can now drink ‘Crom Cruach’ while I regale you with praise for its brilliance and ingenuity.

As a footnote to the below, if you know a small (open, open to unagented, safe) publisher that may be interested in a collection of weird…ish short stories, let me know. 🙃 (No, not Tenebrous, unfortunately.)

So I ended up pushing this car up a hill in the mud in the dark in the rain in the middle of nowhere in high heels. Often sticking the floor mats under the wheels for traction. I'm filthy and drenched and cold.
And all in all it was kind of fun.
And that's why I belong in indie publishing

It's dire when you try to help authors find where to submit excellent manuscripts, and there's just hardly anything. Not even talking about the chances of acceptance; just anywhere to even *try* that's all of: the right genre, open, open to unagented, decent, and safe. Everyone's closed.
