Truly honored to have received not one, but TWO awards during the Indie Ink Awards. This book released shortly after my mom was hospitalized. After she passed, @rainbowcrate.bsky.social reached out about a special edition. Readers reaching out, loving this book, got me through that intense grief.🧵

Book 73 of 2026, @smhallow.bsky.social's The Halls of the Dead What a delight! We've got Victorian-esque heretic necromancers rebuilding a repository of occult knowledge, soul eating, abusive ghosts, ghouldom, and a whole lot more. This is gonna make my best of the year list for sure.

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

One of the best things you can do for an author is check their book out of the library. If your library doesn't have the title, requesting it is also great! Never apologize. The library bought the book! Sometimes more than one! Because of you!
