New blog post up today! I talk about why I love August, why I dislike promoting books in the summer, why anxiety in the month before publication is a bitch, and why supporting and promoting others is good medicine.

You're more than welcome, my friend. A review I've been waiting to write for years. It was a pleasure to finally be able to do it.

Thank you to @erikmchatton.bsky.social for the lovely, wonderful review.
It's one thing to write a book, it's another to feel heard and seen. I'm so proud of PORTRAITS OF DECAY as a culmination of everything I've learned since I started this writing journey.
I also love how squirmy this will make him. It should be easier for Ingrid to sneak up on him with that knife.
