Ways to tell that scam email isn't really from an editor at Penguin Random House: 1) It's a long, glowing, AI-regurgitated synopsis of your book followed by gibberish-level corporate speak 2) Actual editors PROBABLY won't email you from "penguinrandomhouse@firstname.lastname.co.site"?

We have the chance this year to not only take back the House (or if we're dreaming, even the Senate), but to primary the hell of a lot of D losers and shift the party significantly to the left. We have the chance to lean on ALL of our reps to actually do something.

Launching a big ad push for Spellmonkeys, but the AMZ sales page is crying out for reviews. How well this goes will literally decide whether I continue the series (which I want to REAL BAD). So if you want more of Frinzil and her friends, please go drop a quick review on Amazon! bit.ly/4qkvMqG

Made the mistake of saying "let's get down to business" when I started making buttons to give away at Orycon this weekend and now I have the entire fucking Mulan soundtrack stuck in my head so that's how my day is going orycontemp.tezhme.net
