The Merry Gentlemen was Hot Frosty MINUS ten. It was so ugh.

We have a new bookstore that doesn’t hide the controversial titles away in a shadowy corner!

I'm inclined to buy one, but the photo leads me to think there would be a bit too much over-the-top spillage!

I don’t know how I got onto their text list but I’ve been getting messages from Pierre’s wife and team every week since last spring. I’ve replied with STOP but apparently that’s not the way to be removed. 🤨

Add me, please! @gettheoreads.bsky.social Parneet can vouche!

Three separate days. But for the life of me I can’t remember taking anyone else’s keys on previous days. 🤨 And why did we all drop identical keys on a table with a 40 ouncer?! 🥃That night was destined to end in shame for someone! Happy I had a roommate to let me in!

Never happened to me. But I have been known to take a drunk writer’s key totally by mistake. 😬🤣

Preordered! 😍

Things to remember if you're a first-time author:

✨ One sentence at a time is still progress
✨ Plotter or panster, every first draft is messy
✨ Progress doesn't always mean word count
✨ You do NOT have to write chronologically
✨ Always remember what drove you to write your story

More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
