- I get a lot of AI slop book marketing emails, but this is the first time I have ever been . . . mistaken for Jane Austen.
- Some authors want to be bestsellers or to win literary prizes, but I think my chief ambition as a writer is to one day be in the #hiddenbooksgame.
- As ever, I am absolutely loving the #hiddenbooksgame, but I am stumped on the hair and the social calendar.
- Psst! This VERY exciting new anthology all about Jane Austen is out now, and I have an essay featured in it, all about my love of Jane Austen and how it’s grown over the years. I had a great time celebrating the launch last night, and I can’t wait to read everyone else’s contributions.
