(I know this won't help people who are avoiding shopping at Amazon, but I can't control that, the way Ingram sets the Canadian price is incredibly stupid. I know for some people $7.67 will make a huge difference, so I want to at least have a better price option available where I CAN control it.)

Lyssa Chiavari @lyssachiavari.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Incidentally, this is why I hit publish on the KDP version of a paperback a couple days before release day, so anyone who preordered the Ingram version on Amazon gets the good price. Canadian pricing through Ingram is particularly stupid, so this way at least people can get a bit of a better deal

#LesFicFri: regret If only life was as easy to fix as a painting!

“Just do it, then. If it’s going to bug you, you might as well get it right now, when you still can change it, rather than leave it and regret it when it’s finished.”

She was right. Not everything in life could be as easily redone as a painting, but I knew from experience that paint was easy to change. Just paint over the top of it and start over.

#LesFicFri: pain I finally was on social media in time to see this week's theme and make a post! 🤣 Just Like the First Time is resuming on September 1 and we have just 5 chapters left to go!

Once my freakout was done, it was time to get to work. I pinched myself a few times to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming. I don’t know if that whole “you don’t feel pain in dreams” rumor is true or just an urban legend, but I definitely felt the pinches, so I figured I must not be dreaming.
