Never Say You Can't Survive WINNER OF THE 2022 HUGO AWARD FOR BEST RELATED WORKFrom Charlie Jane Anders, the award-winning author of novels such as All the Birds in the Sky and The City...

Back in 2021, I published a book about how to make it through scary times by making up stories, Never Say You Can't Survive.

It sucks, but this book only seems to get more relevant lately.

So I'm very glad that today only, it's just $2.99 in all e-book formats.

It’s All in Your Head A β€œpoignant and swoony” romance about a woman with a rare neurological condition who agrees to fake-date the hot guy in her chronic pain support groupβ€”...

I’m going to make a cute graphic later but the 1st day of Disability Pride Month seems like a good day to announce that my book is now available everywhere for pre-order. πŸ˜±β€ΌοΈπŸ˜

It’s a romance novel that also unapologetically calls out ableismβ€”oh, and everyone is disabled. 😌🫢🏻
