Mango pickle!!!!
IMHO (as a US citizen who’s personally done a lot of travel) enough English speakers can surmise what a mango pickle is, and the few who can’t (or will loudly claim they can’t) aren’t really your audience anyway (and fwiw they aren’t mine either….)
Marina is a fantastic writer, so if you’re into romantasy, do your tbr a favor and don’t miss out on BEHOOVED!!!
Happy book birthday!!!
My book was one of the thousands used (without permission or payment) to train AI.
I don’t use AI lol.
AI needed me I guess but I don’t need it 🤷♀️

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches.

Graphic with a deep purple ombre background. White title text says, “Celebrate We Need Diverse Books Day with Bookshop.org”. Beneath the title is a row of white perforated tickets, the centermost which says, “15% Off using the code WNDB25” in dark purple lettering. Beneath the ticket in small white font is a note with an asterisk that says, “only active Thursday, April 3rd” and “excludes e-book purchases”.
It’s no joke, our friends at @bookshop.org are helping us celebrate #WeNeedDiverseBooksDay with a special promo code! 🛍️📚
Shop Bookshop.org on April 3rd and use the code “WNDB25” at checkout to get 15% off your purchase!
