While I’m being "Things I Learned as a Bookseller": Bookmarks can be decision support. They can sell a copy of your book. If a person buying your book gets a bookmark, ideally the bookmark will be trying to sell them a different book, not the one they just bought. But! Bookmarks have two sides!

I almost certainly would not have written this book without Anne Rice! But while Rice had a thing of "they're still monsters," I'm kind of leaning into "they're still human." Want to see what that looks like? www.kickstarter.com/projects/vil... 2/2 💙📚🩸📚🪐 #booksky

Ten days to the release of @weirdnoirmaster.bsky.social 's new Blank novel, BlankAnon! (Preorders are up in all the usual places, too. www.amazon.com/BlankAnon-Fi... and more.)

#Minneapolis folks: pace yourselves. We may yet get good mayoral news. 🤞🏻

Our publisher blurbed this book and thinks you would like it too! Happy book birthday, @bogiperson.bsky.social!

#Booksky After you vote, get a bit of comfort and humor: OBVIOUSLY, ALIENS by Jennie Goloboy is a madcap roadtrip with talking corgies and more while THE VOYAGES OF CINRAK THE DAPPER by A. J. Fitzwater is a warm fuzzy hug! Available everywhere! queenofswordspress.com/product/obvi...

Met Flo on the doors and proud to have her support. When we opened the door, she said “I am a badass broad.” She’s helped with campaigns since Hubert Humphrey’s run for mayor and knows we need leadership.

Personal Me: I voted early, in person for the first time since 2019. I was in line behind two Somali American women, one of them disabled, and they were having the best day ever. They were so excited, it lit the place up. Honor that. If you haven’t voted yet, get your ass out there and do it.

#Minneapolis Don’t Rank Frey. Most of the richer folks in the SW and in the fancy condos downtown and every scummy developer in the city is pulling for him. If you give him a ranking on your ballot, we WILL get stuck with him again. Let’s do better! Any one of these 3 will be an improvement!

Reminder that I have a new story in this awesome anthology with awesome writers:

I have reached the point in my vending journey in which younger vendors panic when I crawl under the table (we are tightly packed in and getting out is challenging). Go, Team Knees, which have just declared there will be no more crawling.
