1. Listen, you saw the subject line. You get it.
Click the image below and own the ebook for less than one single American dollar (sale is US only).
I really don’t ever run sales and it’s unlikely I’ll do another one any time soon, so I figured I’d better start shouting from the rooftops. Even if self promotion is THE CRINGIEST OF DEATHS.
But, like, times are tough in these parts, and I’m doing what I can.
Please share with everyone you know who likes a deal and a little monster smut on their Kindle every now and then. Or if you’re just curious about what this very weird and polarizing book could possibly be about, now’s the time to click. (Because as the parable states, you should always let your curiousity get the best of you. Nothing bad has ever happened as a result.)
I really do hate doing pure self-promo posts, but this time it’s important.
Why? You ask. Because! Because sometimes, you just get something in your head and then it becomes very important to you and you really don’t have a good explanation other than the fact that hyperfixations are the only thing keeping you alive in 2025.
Does that make sense?
2. Why are books political?
I’ve seen a lot of really brain-dead booktok discourse about the inherently political nature of books recently. And wow, some people really get it wrong.
Because you can’t equate the politic of books with the genre of Political Books. And if makes me want to absolutely rip every little hair out of my head when people do that.
Because what do you mean? Books are political not because they explicitly discuss politics (although sometimes they do) but because of what they mean to society. Who’s allowed to write? Who’s allowed to read? Who has access to books? Who has access to publishing? Who is able to share their messaging/their ideologies/their fictional worlds via publishing with the population writ large? And who isn’t?
Books are propaganda. Books are power.
What we read in schools, who’s choosing it, and who’s writing it? PROPOGANDA. Whether good or bad. It’s still propoganda.
Why, in my 11th grade honors/AP English class were we given a list of 200 canon books and less than ten percent of those books were written by authors who weren’t white men?
Obviously. This is political. And you know what? I’m not saying anything new. You’ve heard it all before from writers and speakers much more educated and well-spoken than I. I’m preaching to the choir.
But I just felt like yelling. Sometimes you gotta yell.
3. So, get my smutty fish monster romance for $.99
I’m not gonna link again or link anything else. You know what to do and how to do it if you want to do it.
I do hope you get Breathless while it’s on sale though. Maybe a good sale promo will cure me of this illness that I. Still. Somehow. Still. Have.
4. And don’t forget, it’s Black History Month
I’ll be sending out another newsletter SOON with some of my fave Black American author books recs. If you have any new Black authors that you’d like to recommend to me PLEASE reach out! I love reading up and coming (and especially self published and indie) authors. Or if you’re a Black author reading this now, send me a message so I can buy your books if I haven’t already.
OKAY LOVE YOU BYE
Bought and happy to support you 🥰
