Independence from monarchy is the reason for the season. Independence means taking responsibility for the system. 'We the People' are part of the system. Our job is to Vote!
Years ago I got my rights back from my previous publisher for all 17 books I had with them.
Five of them I revised, tweaked, deleted bits, moved others, and generally reworked them, and submitted them to my wonderful publisher @evernightpublishing
They accepted them!
I'm so happy and excited. That will mean I have traditionally published 35 books!

Five stars: Coyote Lost and Found by Dan Gemeinhart (2024) is the sequel to The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise. Ella aka Coyote has been in school and is living in a house with her father after their years' long life on the road in a converted school bus. Now, though, it's time to head on the road again after Ella finds her mother's ashes hidden on the bus.
Patrick Langley's short novel Arkady (2018/20) is the story of two boys (who become men) living on the margins of society after an early family tragedy. Told (with one exception) in a series of chapters separated by years, its a story of brothers looking out for each other in a society that cares nothing for them. Its a quick but effecting read & captures the relationship between the brothers really well, as they grow older & wiser (?).
Yesterday was... strange & good. It's not like I haven't had a book published before, but it was a decade ago w/ a micropress--I didn't expect anything. I didn't expect much this time either, but seeing the preorder #s the night before launch was a pleasant surprise. And seeing an unexpectedly good ranking at Amazon (in an admittedly niche category) today was even more of a surprise. Who knew?
Sad to say I was very disappointed in "Most Ardently: a Pride and Prejudice Remix." I'm not sure if it's the fault of the author or if it was the requirements of the series publisher that spoiled it, but the excellent premise ("Elizabeth Bennet" is actually a trans boy) was not given the care it deserved. The language is all over the place, and teenage heartthrob Mr. Darcy is just too weird.
"The story of our relationship to the earth is written more truthfully on the land than on the page. It lasts there. The land remembers what we said and what we did." -- from 'Braiding Sweetgrass' by Robin Wall Kimmerer
