So far my entire approach to marketing has been subjecting my book to Circumstances.
It occurs to me that the book is out now and I have subjected the finished copies to a whole new set of Circumstances. The Circumstances will continue until people read it, and also probably after that.

Woo! Happy release day!
Etsy is fucking insane if they think I’m doing back to school shopping for my kids on there
Sending me push notifications to insinuate that I’m getting elementary school supplies of any kind on the curated handmade art website? Etsy, my child is lucky if I can spring for Crayola instead of RoseArt.
So, I looked at a few things in Etsy’s curated back to school shopping lists, and I found some special stuff.
$39 Leather Pencil Case
Maybe I’m just a bad mom, but my kids lose things. They have always lost everything. If they own an object that they haven’t lost, it’s because I’ve spent my entire life ensuring that they don’t. I will never spend more than $5 on something like a pencil case, one of the most portable and loseable things on the planet.
$27 Monogrammed Snack Pouch That Is Definitely Not AI
My kids learned to eat their snacks from a plastic or paper bag and be glad that I had time to arrange anything extra for them to eat. Their names get scrawled on in Sharpie, because I can at least write my kid’s names, but maybe this kind of thing is useful for the sort of parent who can’t be bothered to remember them.
$40 Monogrammed Toddler Shirt
This blows me away. $40??? Forty American dollars! For a shirt for a little fat guy who changes shape every other month! My baby took one look at all of the lovely expensive clothing my family gifted him before he was ever born, pooped his pants, and grew to the size of an 18 month old before he was one third that age. Do not ever spend money on kid’s clothing if you can help it. Get hand me downs from friends who are desperate to declutter their own kids.
$4.25 Name Sticker
This one is fine actually, very normal thing, but.
Mrs. Smirth.
Ok, but to be fair, if your last name is Smirth it's probably a real time saver if you have a sticker you can point to. No one's going to get that right without help.

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.
Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.
A queer fairy tale romance tinged with the horror of reliving your story over and over again, perfect for fans of The Everlasting and Harrow the Ninth. That can't be the way this story ends. Try again?
Ensnared by the whims of a cruel narrator, Hansel's fairy tale has always revolved around tragedy. After being forced to abandon his sister Gretel in a witch’s gingerbread house, desert the cursed prince he adores, and cut the hearts out of innocent maidens to feed a flesh-eating queen, Hansel gives up on the possibility of his story ending in Happily Ever After. But when the queen orders him to bring her the heart of her own daughter, Hansel decides that it's time to carve his own path by whatever means necessary. And when he does, he’ll learn Happily Ever After might not be the only thing worth fighting for.
Coming August 11: the author's preferred, self-published text. eBook and paperback available wherever books are sold, including your local indie, your local library, and bookstores like Barnes & Noble.

you're laughing. charles dickens had a son named plorn and you're laughing
HE HAD A SON NAMED
WHAT
NICK I LOOKED IT UP AND SAW NOTHING OF THE SORT IS THIS A PRANK
technically his name was edward but everyone called him plorn
Edward “Plorn” Dickens. my god.
I have something worse
imagine getting stuck with the nickname Plorn
imagine getting sent to live in the Australian outback when you were sixteen
WHY WERE THEY SO CRUEL TO MY BOY PLORN
I have an answer to that one too
The face of a man whose father nicknamed him Plorn.
Born without a groove 😔
With each addition to this, I find myself nodding and murmuring, "Mm hm. The Plorn Dickens."
justice for Plorn
Was ‘Dickens’ not burden enough

you're not supposed to wander around appalachia at night bc you'll fall off a sheer drop that you couldn't see coming. this is also a major risk during the day. you really have to watch out for the sheer drops that you don't see coming due to the undergrowth. I suspect 100% of spooky missing persons cases in appalachia have the spooky explanation of "sheer drop disguised by undergrowth"
really cannot overstate how many utterly invisible ravines we got here and also how big the woods are. they can't find people because the woods? are big
in seriousness you can learn about the isolated Appalachian communities that were up here until quite recently by checking out the foxfire books. it is true that there were many isolated communities that remained pretty separate from mainstream American life for a longish time but most of the last ones were my grandpa's generation. and they were regular? can't overstate how regular they were. just rural and isolated with their own culture. do check out the foxfire museum if you want to learn more about them and their lives! those books are based on real interviews conducted by local high schoolers and college students of the old folks in their communities and they are very interesting windows into day to day rural life up in the mountains in the early to mid 20th century.
I absolutely 100% do not mean this in a like derogatory city slickers way; I myself grew up mostly in a city and I think that it is morally neutral to not have experience with The Outdoors. having said that, I have noticed that a lot of people who do not have regular interactions with "landscape that can kill you" do seem to have an internalized idea that "landscape that can kill you" is something that only happens to other people, or not very often, or only under extreme circumstances. which I think often leads them to assume that there must be something else out here that can kill you. but I fear I must inform the people who wanna believe scary Appalachian woods monsters are real that it's Landscape. inclusive of the beasts that dwell there such as the cougars and bears. its Landscape! (GRASPING EVERYONE ON THE SPOOKY APPALACHIAN TRAIL SUBREDDITS) IT'S LANDSCAPE THAT KILLS YOU! ITS ALWAYS LANDSCAPE! Old Man Hidden Ravine and his best friend Exposure!

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

SURPRISE!! I get to write more Child of the Dragon books!!
Since the very inception of Child of the Dragon, I knew it would be a series, and I can't believe I not only get to actually write the rest of that series, now officially named Pact of the Ancients, I finally get to talk about it! I cannot WAIT for everyone to return to this world with our familiar cast and a lot of new faces and magics! I've turned in the first draft of the sequel and am hard at work on drafting the prequel. More details under the cut, and official announcement here
