I've been negligent in actually posting a pic of JUST the cover of my book. Mega-thanks to @jeremyjohnparker.bsky.social for such a great cover!

IT'S OFFICIAL! (And it's oddly fitting that after writing a satire about the publishing industry, they spell my name wrong in the announcement. 😉) Coming 2026! Personally, I think this book is hilarious...but obviously I am biased.

Current read! This is a very interesting - and timely - book. And it gives a much more comprehensive (and necessary) definition for "cult" than what we usually think of.

Interestingly, I haven't read this particular novel about writers - but for a good reason: At the time when it was published I was working on my own little satire about authors, and I didn't want any of YELLOWFACE to bleed accidentally into my book. It's probably safe to read it now!

Maybe I just really, really like novels about writers?? 🤔

Ready for another novel about writers??
Do readers love books about writers as much as authors do?? 🤔

Continuing with my theme of novels about writers... Hmm, is there a reason I'm so fixated on this?? 🤔

You may start seeing a theme develop here...it isn't a coincidence that I enjoy novels about writers. 😉

I'm late to the game (story of my life) - but better late than never, right? I really need to read the rest of S.A. Cosby's books!!
