I know, I know. A lot of these post updates sound the same. But as it happens, we were waiting on the print availability for Queen of None, and now it’s here!

Praise for Queen of None from Publishers Weekly
You know I’m pleased when they call me clever. The review for Queen of None from Publishers Weekly just went live, and I’m still grinning. Is the validation required for writing? No. Does it help?

But I also hear phrases like, “Is there anything you can’t do?” and “How do you it all” and “I just don’t know how you do it.” That’s never helped me much in feeling like one of the club.
