This is as exciting as a book launch.
Highly recommend finding kickass reviewers to champion 100 great books across a diverse array of authors, genres, and small presses. 10/10.

Only took me 7 months longer but I did it!! First full draft is done 🎉
I’m putting it out there: finishing the full draft of my novel in the next 30 days (15K words to go) so it will be done by my birthday. Greatest present to myself.

Started working for this upcoming podcast on international relations and global conflict! If you are interested in politics that are not focused solely on the US, give it a follow! We got some interesting guests lined up!!
Behind-the-scenes footage of our first podcast episode. Our team is working hard to deliver a quality podcast with our first guest. Those with an interest in diplomacy and Islamic studies may recognize this Pakistani-American academic.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.
When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Did you know MARCH is a FREE SUB month? 😍 If you're planning to submit, we suggest doing it early! Sometimes we have to shut 'em down early due to a rad but overwhelming response. AKA: when our Submittable maxes out 😭 buff.ly/32k496o
