thanks!
i just checked WorldCat and THE IRON GARDEN SUTRA is in 139 libraries!!!!! this is incredible!
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
it's all bullshit and i'm sorry.
can platforms still be built online? yeah. but you can't do a signing online. you're also missing out on many networking opportunities that help your career in unforeseen ways down the line. anyway, support the midlist.
i'm also going to add my concern that these are also the authors for whom travel to the US would be most unsafe and who have to pass on attending cons/events. US remains the largest readership. having name recognition in the US helps tremendously.

At the top of the image is a white rectangle bar that reads: “New Book Club” in purple text, and in the left corner, there is a bell graphic in orange.

BC folks, take note. you'd be losing incredible biodiversity.
you will be no help to yourself or others if your brain turns to liquid from witnessing one horror after another. it's ok to step away from the internet temporarily. it's okay to focus on small-scale community building and support irl.
A newly married couple, hands loosely bound by a ribbon as they gently show off each other's rings. The figure on the left is dressed in red traditional garb inspired by traditional Chinese wedding wear. The figure on the right is similarly dressed in a purple, gold, and orange sari, her fingers adorned with henna. Where their heads should be are two snakes, intertwined in a symbolic knot. The scene is bordered by a warm wooden frame with knotted patterns from various cultures embedded in its surface. A red Chinese knot decorated with tassels hangs from above.

Had the loveliest time this weekend celebrating the launch of @thesuiway.bsky.social’s Iron Garden Sutra, and hearing about:
✨ Dead rat (not relevant to book)
✨ Corpse farms (kinda relevant)
✨ Wall staring competency (very relevant)
Can’t wait to start reading 👀👀👀
thank you so much for coming and listening to my trail rat story!
right, fellow geese, let's go 🍁
