@seandevine9.bsky.social We're allowed to be upset at this point, right? This is the second time in two weeks on a beautiful day we have lost power in our neighbourhood. If this is another "provincial" matter, we need to know where our power is being funnelled instead.

I just finished me reread of Howl of the Fettered Wolf, first time I've read it since it was published in 2016. It was such a fun read! In it, I see all the origins of my current style, as well as some first attempts at tropes I played with in more detail in later books.

So Amazon is convinced that they have to price match a sale for my book and discount it. That would make sense if the sale existed. So while I fight with them about this, feel free to take advantage of this unexpected sale. 🫠 Or just go listen/read for free on Kobo Plus. 📚💙 a.co/d/0c2wOPEc
