Now that EOY chaos is resolving itself a bit, I am having a moment of gratitude that my book has apparently sold 278+ since April. For a nobody debuting with a brand-new small press, I'm honestly stunned and feeling like a million bucks. Happy winter you'uns. @bellepointpress.bsky.social

Come Christmas shop at Blue Cypress Books on Oak Street (New Orleans) & then see me. Or vice versa.

Also, the double shotgun house that features so prominently in LETTING IN AIR AND LIGHT is right around the corner from Blue Cypress!

Thank you for your wonderful book @ttbrader.bsky.social! It's remarkable in so many ways. Paying attention to wrong-doing and wrong-doers in our lives is so emotionally challenging, I am astonished at how you stuck with this project and saw it through. #LettingInAirAndLight
