Binding the Cuckoo is a love story set in an alternative-history Gilded Age London.
But it’s also a story of women trying to help and lift each other up. Women supporting women is kinda my jam ❤️

Wooing the Witch Queen by @stephanieburgis.bsky.social is a cosy, humorous romp of a fantasy romance.
Light and witty, it keeps you turning the pages just to see what delight awaits next.
I’ve already preordered book 2!
QoTD: what fantasy creature would you be in the court of the witch queen?

I wish professional writing was a bit more like in the 20s, where if you got a short story published, you could support your whole family for a few months.
Meanwhile I’m here, on my 5th novel, trying to understand Facebook ads
Anyway, please look, please buy, please enjoy.

I’m so dispirited by the number of „authors” in private FB groups, who regularly discuss using AI to write/edit/illustrate books. Then debate whether it should even be required to inform the readers.
So there’s no doubt: Binding the Cuckoo is written & illustrated by myself

I’m a member of a couple self publishing groups on Facebook, and I’m so dispirited by the sheer volume of pro AI comments.
There’s so many who think nothing of publishing AI-written, AI-illustrated slop.
Just FYI, no AI was used in the creation of Binding the Cuckoo.

I was asked by a few people about if I smuggled some Slavic folklore into Binding the Cuckoo, my alternative-history romance.
The answer is… duh 🙄
I present Maletki, a cat-shaped domovoy ❤️

The thing I wasn’t quite prepared for as a newly hybrid author is how unresponsive some of the distributors are.
BookBub is running a promotion for Binding the Cuckoo so I lowered the ebook prices for promo but not every site has updated
Literally had nightmares about it
