Ah. Too accurate. 😢

It’s so frustrating — I just cannot get my idea landlord to come over and repair this leaky plot in my WIP novel. At this point it’s threatening to undermine the entire foundation of my main character.

Omg you can read the whole first chapter here! Look at these beautiful hand-painted panels! 😍 This book looks so good, we're definitely getting it!

Chapter One. 1/6

Order this beautiful book!! 🧡

Asunder’s out next month, it’s quite nice, preordering is cool and a thing you could do, just an option on the table, something to think about, hm, perhaps.

Also: Get off your arse and vote. My constituency was won for Labour by 15 votes. A high turnout from the French sorted this. You don't vote? Well, the fash do. If you're replying to this with why it's ideologically impure for a truly left wing person to vote, please just block yourself, I'm tired.

Birthday books!! I am going to make the most delicious treats...
