New look, who dis?

Heads up for folks who ordered physical copies of Mother Karma, but are still waiting. JAKE's editor in charge of fulfillment has been experiencing some family health issues, but the party in question seems to be getting better. Books on open orders may go out Tuesday, but likely after Christmas.

i mean this so genuinely, everyone please get your ass a personal website. NO MORE RELIANCE ON PLATFORMS (except for socializing and chaos but come on!!!)

Umm so because I only know how to do things the wrong way round, here is my (chaotic) unboxing video which happened a week after the launch of Mother Karma 😁 Link to buy (Phx US only, ebook worldwide) jakethemag.com/books/ If you are outside the US and you want a copy, please DM me!

Oh hello hi! I wrote a NiF. My totally unbiased cousin said this! I’m having a launch on zoom and you should come because I will reveal the truly awful line drawing I did that led to @nmals.bsky.social amazing cover! Zoom rego link for launch sat Dec 13 3pm EST us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Writers! Looking forward to seeing you in 90 min. If you haven't signed up and want to come, register and join us at 8pm GMT. We're celebrating Sumitra's new novella in flash. There will be readings, singing & chat 😍 to launch MOTHER KARMA @publishedbyjake.bsky.social into the big wide world

“Mythili feels herself shattering, grabs on to the pieces of herself as they fly past. The vibration in her chest builds. Mythili waits for the glue that she hopes is coming.” Mother Karma, a novella-in-flash by @pleomorphic2.bsky.social, published by @publishedbyjake.bsky.social (Sumitra! ❤️)

“How can you distinguish 1001 distinct works of art in such a superlative way? How did they make this list? It was before algorithms. Did they sort songs into broad categories of 100 and then, within the category, randomize?" Pierre Minar @publishedbyjake.bsky.social jakethemag.com/1001-new-jer...

So happy to have a dear friend engage with my work like this. Thank you @sudhasubraman.bsky.social Link to purchase Mother Karma @publishedbyjake.bsky.social jakethemag.com/books/
