Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

PSA: due to monumental stupidity on the part of yours truly, Pete's Press currently does not have a functional phone. In 2025 it feels redundant to say this, but for now, *please don't call us.* We respond to email, bluesky/Instagram DM, and occasionally, loud meowing. SORRY!

New fiction anthology coming out v soon!! Featuring short stories from ten Saskatchewan writers. We'll be taking pre-orders for 'Strays' at our Black Cat Book Sale this Saturday at Pause Coffee #YQR #booksky 📚💙

Starting a campaign to publish this...

Had to do some stock taking in preparation for our Black Cat book sale and the holiday markets coming up. We've sold out of two titles but the remaining spread is still pretty impressive!

Pete's Press presents.... The Black Cat Book Sale at Pause Coffee! November 1st, 11am-3pm All of our Pete's Press titles available, plus great coffee, silly costumes and good cheer. See you all there?! #yqr #booksky 📚💙

Second and third novels, particularly in series, elevate the sales of first novels as they continue to hook readers. Once a reader decides they love your novel (whichever one they read) they are highly likely to chase down other novels by you. Fans. The real power. #writingcommunity #booksky

I’ll be there too! Come in costume, it’s never too late for Halloween fun.

Our Black Cat Book Sale is back for another year! Stop by Pause Coffee on Nov 1st for some "Halloween-adjacent" fun. We're bringing our full cat-alogue of books, which pair excellently with great coffee! #booksky #yqr

"No, Jesus" sighed Satan a little impatiently: "You put your RIGHT leg in, your RIGHT leg out, in, out, in, out, you shake it all about -- that's what the Hokey Cokey is all about!"

Help hive mind: Do I turn this into a writers' salon/publishing office/bookstore/gallery space in Cathedral #yqr and if so can someone please loan me some money? #booksky 📚💙
