Happy pub day to @maidervang.bsky.social! PRIMORDIAL is out today via @graywolfpress.bsky.social. When I saw draft1 I was staggered and astonished, and somehow, even though I knew the content of what I read, I saw her, the work, the struggle, and the saola anew and brilliantly. ✨✨✨✨✨

Authors have the burden of putting a book at the center of our lives while keeping everything else at the center of our lives.

I know it’s not 2024 anymore but I just found out about this yesterday and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to be excited about it. Thank you, @chicagopubliclibrary for including DEVIL IS FINE on this incredible list.
