I made this post free on my Patreon because I'm all about transparency. How does a Black trad pub author ask for transparency and accountability from her publisher regarding a 2024 book that will most likely go out of print? Read the email yourself. 🙂 www.patreon.com/posts/171039...

The last hardcover copy is gone, y'all from the US warehouses. My villain era begins. Please anticipate me going a full 115% Floridian.

I'd like to make a poster, and I was wondering if yall could share 1 fave scene or a quote from POISONS. I'm going to add every response that comes by way to the poster. Just as a reminder that POISONS did have a community of people who loved it. 🥹 I'd appreciate it. #booksky #blacksky

And then, there were 2. Life comes at you fast. What comes next when it hits 0, I do not know. But at least every copy would've found a home somewhere.

It's too late. Folks have been unable to buy book due to out of stock statuses and backorders. This is why. I wrote THE POISONS WE DRINK because I believe in Black liberation, Black rage, and Black-led revolutions. I wrote it in response during the first Trump admin. #booksky #blacksky

DISCLAIMER: I'm just a nigga who doesn't give a fuck anymore, not an expert. Don't take my word for it. The industry is intentionally opaque for a reason. This is taboo, boo. I've been getting a lot of Qs about what does "Out of Print" actually means, in my case. #booksky #authorsky #blacksky

If POISONS is on your TBR, get it while you still can. Buy it. Because once it's gone, it's gone. Because the math tells me, what's out there is what's left. It's not a collectible. It's an endangered species, hunty. It's Sapphic September, Suicide Awareness Month, and 1/2 #booksky #blacksky

OK, this post has been a while in the making. Yall want transparency and realness about what it means to be in traditional publishing as a Black author, I'mma show you with actual receipts. Royalty statements. Free post on Patreon: bit.ly/4gTZ9NG #booksky #authorsky #idk #whateversky

Dem: Do you have an author newsletter? Me: No, but I do have a Patreon. Dem: Newsletters give you a wider reach though. Me: True, but sending out fictional dick pics with a wider reach is too much power to grasp in my mortal hands. 😞 #monsterromance #booksky #romancelandia

Being an author with a social media account is accepting the fact you have to be corny when you're doing book promo. Like every time I post about my stories, I think to myself, "Look at this goofy ass ho tryna make a name for herself." 😂😂😂
