ICYMI, François Bereaud and I have a cowritten novelette from ELJ Editions out now. Available on Amazon as ebook or print. It has 👨‍🚒🔥🏪⛰️💔🛻🏫.

After countless fights w/SPD for years for proper distribution, I’m excited to say Itasca has all the backlist titles listed on Amazon. So if Amazon is your thing, consider ordering today. Support an ELJ author. Your order is a giant hug. Your review is a gift. Love them. ❤️

It’s an amazing feeling to have a book in the world with my name on the cover. Fantastic to share that space with Melissa Flores Anderson. So much ❤️ ELJ Editions for publishing our novelette. You can get it here. I will also have signed copies to send.

I’ve been working since 3 a.m. I’m through July & about to work on August. I’ve sent 3 books to print. I’m taking the next 4 days off to rejuvenate. Send me your manuscript #submissions to keep me company. Would love to see some #poetry & #novels . eljpublications.submittable.com/submit

NOW AVAILABLE! Our latest AFTERNOON SHORT, THE FAIR DAY by Laura Biagi. After a teenager nicknamed Electricity had her innocence stolen from her ten years ago at the county fair, she returns prepared to steal it back—not realizing all the forces at play. a.co/d/4ZBkpvd

Great big hugs & a shout out & lots of love to Keith J. Powell w/whom all of the progress we’ve made over the past few weeks wouldn’t have been possible. He’s been my backbone & greatest help in interior & eBook design. We’re a good team. If only I could steal him for my Masthead.

Short of getting all the backlist metadata completely uploaded to the new distributor, we are back on track. Currently waiting to work the June Afternoon Short & designing the July Editions title. Life is good. Send me #submissions . Buy a book. Tell a friend you love them.

It’s becoming real! This direct action primer dressed as a memoir is on its way! Grab your preorder here! >> elj-editions.com/high-priestess…
