🕯️ IT’S OFFICIAL: EMOTIONALLY FRENCH IS NOW IN PAPERBACK

Yes, you can now physically hold your emotional damage. Matte black. 5×8. Smells faintly of irony and perfume.

Emotionally French: A Guide to Suffering Beautifully by Kushibada Book Pond (also me, but with a candle and delusions of publishing grandeur).

For the ones who romanticize breakdowns with taste. For the ones who apologize in lowercase, pour wine in silence, and turn grief into something quotable. This is not self-help. It’s self-mythology.

21 essays. 3 absurd appendices. Infinite self-awareness.

If you’ve ever whispered “it’s fine” while drowning in aesthetic lighting -- this is your gospel.

📘 Now available on Amazon 👉 Buy the paperback here → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FYS4J5XD

🖤 reblog if you’ve mastered the art of overthinking beautifully 🍷 save if your sadness has taste 🕯️ read if you’d like your coping mechanisms typeset

There's something wrong on Anchor's Mercy

We’re about to hit the big autumn new book wave, but before we get there, I wanted to mention that the paperback edition of Sonia Purnell’s Kingmaker is out in shops from today. This was my Book of the Week at the start of October last year and was my favourite non-fiction read of 2024. It’s a fascinating re-examining of the life of Pamela Churchill Harriman, making a case for her as a behind the…

Kei's still processing the midnight attack and none of his questions have answers. His reaction seems extreme until it's proven that Danya's spellsong has lingering effects. He wants to help, but no one seems to need it…

Loren needs to be deep underwater, preferably with his claws in the idiot who dared to attack Kei on his territory. It won't be pretty and it's making his temper worse. Can he get to the bottom of things or has he pushed everyone away?

Just a quick post today to announce the publication of my fantasy short story collection in paperback. The ebook came out in April and has received some lovely reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I decided it was time to publish a paperback so those readers who prefer that format do not miss out on the origin stories of some of the characters from my fantasy worlds. Readers loved Garrick in Silent…

  I am absolutely delighted to share with you this news! My Debut Book, "A Flooded Courtyard" is finally out in Kindle and Paperback format on Amazon! There's also more information I want to share with you, so keep reading to find how to get your copy.  

What is it about?

  Deborah is an Anachronic: as she is about to die in the present-day and time, she appears in the Kingdom of Miurgel. Life in Miurgel feels like a daydream, a new lease on life for Deborah. But there is one problem: Miurgel is running out of natural resources and that is threatening the lives of everyone in the Kingdom. Deborah - like some of the other Anachronics - has an idea that can push the Kingdom forward and secure its survival. A simple idea that will get her involved in a dangerous mission to save everyone, but with unforeseen consequences…   A Flooded Courtyard is the first part of a short series. The second part, which completes the story of Debora and company, is currently in the works.  

What will I find?

  Settle into the Kingdom of Miurgel with Deborah and follow her as she starts her life anew, without recollection of her past, meets the Kingdom's inhabitants, and gets embarked into something more important than what she ever imagined.   She will find romance, the joy of the simple things in everyday life, music and friendship, but most importantly, she will try to find and accept herself again.
