IT’S WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH!
Be bold
Take up space
Ask for more money
Closed mouths don’t get fed
Follow your intuition
You are enough
Authenticity is enough
Ditch those self limiting beliefs
Do it scared
Don’t give up

Really, please help if you can. This is guaranteed to be *special*.
I'm really delighted by it!
Ok, I need to read The Magnolia Returns, but I can say if you haven't read Psychopomp & Circumstance yet, it's so good. I absorbed it in one sitting and it was so *calming*. (For me.)

Thank you so much!
Psychopomp & Circumstance has finally made it to UK bookshops so I've finally read it and damn, @edenroyce.bsky.social, that's an extremely good novella. A beautiful little quiet and powerful thing.
This was a tough choice! I'll go with -
