I usually start with one or two copies of a new (to us) title and if it sells out quickly I order three or five more and if THOSE sell out quickly I'm upping my next order to ten. So yeah. This is very true.

Of course, while I'm working on my WIP, my imagination gets snagged and now I'm working on a sequel to THE SMALL HOURS. No promises, but let me if Jay and Willi are ready for another funny, horny, and gory adventure.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.
