I got an ARC of this, and gods above, what even is this book! I finished it in one go, and it was nearly 4 am, and man, this is just SO good! I love Laurel and Spencer and my heart, Fuck.

Thank you 😭 This is the best way to wake up! It's a bit of an unconventional book so when someone loves it, it means the world to me!! 💕
Coal Gets in Your Veins by @catrector.com
Man, this was so good. Once again, a book and author that don't shy away from heavy themes. It's also queer as fuck!

Thank you! I indeed cannot myself and love to write dark themes 😅 But with good intentions XD I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
That's definitely an option I want to look into. Anything more reasonable than $500 would be top notch. Thank you!
Wix has increased my yearly web hosting fees by 20% this year. Is anyone out there happy with their website situation? I'm looking for something simple, preferably with a webstore, and not $500 CDN a year

Alberta uses Notwithstanding Clause to perpetuate unprecedented Attack on Trans Rights. Today, the Government of Alberta has introduced Bill 9 which uses the notwithstanding clause to restrict the rights of Two-Spirit, trans and gender diverse people in the province. This legislation is brought days ahead of Trans Day of Remembrance - a day meant to honour the lives lost to anti-trans violence. Doing so is not only cruel but a direct form of institutional violence against trans communities. This law reaches into nearly every part of a young person's life and restricts their access to health care, ability to learn, and right to participate in their communities. This is not theoretically of ideological - Behind every policy are real young people and families who's rights, sense of belonging, and very safety are being eroded by our very government.

Black text on pink background reads: "Today, the government of Alberta passed legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of trans youth. Get involved today: Stop-Smith.ca"
Moments ago, Premier Danielle Smith's government made a terrifying decision and introduced legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of transgender young people in Alberta.
Now is the time to act. Visit www.stop-smith.ca to sign our petition denouncing this draconian erosion of freedom.

Shit is rough right now and it’s about to get worse—if you haven’t yet it’s time to show up for your community in any way that you can.
Oh I am too, that's the funny part. I think we only got properly switched over in the last couple months 🤣
This is my second run. It was discovered around a month ago I think, and then it was restored after dealing with Libro directly, and now this again. I'd like to see some faith restored that I don't have to watch the site every day to make sure it doesn't come back down
Had this happen with the Of Knights audiobook (poor fella’s already unavailable after only two weeks of life) Here’s the response I got from InAudio this morning:
That's the same response I got, which honestly didn't make me feel any better about how capable they are 🤷♀️ My books are still down 12 hours later but I'm trying to be patient
No worries! We can pretend it was all part of the plan 😄
Am I correct to assume that the pop-up shop will have a separate application in the future? A group of author colleagues of mine were considering sharing a table in order to cut costs while still attending the events, and this seems like a much better option!

If you work with InAudio for your Audiobooks (the replacement for Findaway Voices) you need to check Libro.fm for your listings. This is the second time they're appearing as listed, but are unavailable once the customer clicks them for purchase.
We're being asked to contact InAudio directly
I have just realized that while I was sick with covid, I missed my book's first birthday, and how my world has changed with it.
Revenge of Captain Vessia, my darling Vampirate revenge story, is an award finalist. I've been to two conventions, and on my way to Hal-con in Nov. (1/5)
😭 Thank you for this. I've been a bit lost in the weeds for a few weeks and today was the first day I felt better, in no small part because of your answer. I really appreciate you being here 💕
