It’s my 35th birthday today. Thank you for coming on this publishing & weird life journey with me. Today’s a great day to support a marginalized author who brings you joy. Buy a book for me (doesn’t have to be one of mine! But I’ve got a hot ghost mom and regency bodyswap babes if either suits ya!).
