When it comes to writing non-fiction I have a bad habit of publishing in batches. There's nothing and then there's suddenly half a dozen books. Which means rather than one post per new release, I'm just going to do a new release thread for this year.
Starting with the five books I published so far.

My Valentine drop is live! All items are limited pre-orders, so you have a week to order them and then they’re gone.
I’m only able to show a few here, but I have a couple more earring styles and also some phone charms. :)

All creative cheerleading and satisfaction aside, tho, the older I get the more work/effort vs monetary reward in this business makes no financial sense whatsoever. You're often looking at having made pennies per hour when final math shakes out. You would make more w/a side hustle cleaning gutters

A chain restaurant but I really used to love Bennigan's and their Monte Christo sandwich. (They'd also give me like 8 refills of my Coke.)
It's also fond memories because my dad and I would meet there for a late night dinner after his dialysis sometimes.

Mildly hyperventilating over the fact that in order to transfer reviews from the first editions of my books to the second editions I had to unpublish the first editions.
(The first editions still sell and are fine, and there's no guarantee the second editions will sell as well. Eek.)

“How to Talk Minnesotan” is intended to be comedic but I recommend it for every autistic transplant, because no one will explain any of this to you, they’ll just get mad at you and you won’t know why. This outright just tells you the unspoken rules and everything makes so much more sense after that
This is light-hearted and doesn't touch on cases of fuckaroundits, but maybe it'll spark joy. Mid 90s local PBS.

All, periodic reminder: when you dunk on people like Katie Miller, you're doing exactly what they want.
1. Being screenshot and dunked on amplifies her message, even if it's snarking.
2. Ignoring her and lack of notoriety actually hurts her more.
Don't do her work for her. Seriously.
