TLDR!
Here’s what to expect from this month’s update:
August update
Introducing “Polrabinex”, the cure for political rabies
Bookish events for August 2024
July 2024 Accountability
I’m slowly adding items to my online store.
July was a busy month for editing, and I was able to complete the second editing pass of the anthology. While I prepare to write the dedications, and conduct my final edit pass of the stories, I’m keeping busy with other things.
One of those is reviving my online store, and some products I haven’t offered in a while.
Introducing “Polrabinex”, the cure for political rabies.
As much as I try to avoid getting pulled into political discussions, I couldn’t help but poke fun at how heated discussions can get. And that was how this t-shirt design was born!
“Do you know someone who foams at the mouth during political discussions? Introducing Polrabinex. Together we can eliminate political rabies!”
