Sacrilege. My brother's gf who can't eat dairy or gluten brought an amazing pumpkin pie and non-dairy whipped cream last year, and I definitely tried to hide the leftovers from the rest of the house

Anyway most books you read ARE NOT FACT CHECKED. Publishers will not pay for fact checkers. An author must take it upon themselves and pay out of pocket.
Which is why folks like @annaleen.bsky.social and @swordsjew.bsky.social who have hired me to fact check their books should be celebrated.
