I am once again making free review copies of SMOKE AND STEEL widely available as I've released a second edition.

If you like villain redemption arcs, polyam lesbians, and trauma recovery, please request and review 💜
The Sec(x)ond Edition of SMOKE AND STEEL is HERE.

Yeah, I know. I told no one I was doing this but. I've been working on this for a few months.

I would be SO THANKFUL if you requested a free review copy:

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.

Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

I made a very pretty online store where you can buy my ebooks (and a couple of audiobooks) direct from me, so that the money goes directly towards treats of my three cats and two dogs.

Is anyone interested in being an ARC reader for my next book, ROLL PLAY? books2read.com/rplay

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.
