Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.
But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!
It's easy! Check your library's website.

Support your local library and favorite authors.
If your library doesn't already have a title, more times than not the librarians will be able to place an order for a brand new copy!

"Bullying is one of those things I think almost all of us can agree needs to stop, but for some reason it won’t. OBaaT is something every school needs - every person needs. This is definitely a book I will be keeping on my shelf for my nieces / nephews / littles of my own".

Many Minneapolis bookstores are closed today in protest of ICE in their communities.
Don't let them lose business today, #BookSky! Find a Minneapolis bookstore on this list and order online to support them. I'm choosing @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social: bookshop.org/pages/bookst...

"I like the meat of these poems, the tear and slap of them. I still feel them between my teeth long after reading them. Zak Mucha has a toughness and a way of bringing blood to the page that I admire. He is serving you his own heart."

Enjoy a reader review of In Good Hands by David Hechler.
The eBook was published by PWIC, but this read is just as enjoyable in print. Purchase where you get your books.

Alice Vachss' debut novel, published by Pay What It Costs in early 2025. Give it a read.
"This is an excellent book. It contains some difficult subjects but are very well handled. Bullying is everywhere and needs to be talked about. We need more competent and compassionate resources for victims."
