Friends,

I'm sorry, I've been mostly absent recently. I've been covering for a colleague in my day job, and likely will be for sometime and I also am going through a major life event which I'm not quite ready to discuss publicly yet, but I'm doing what I can when I can, so I hope you'll remain patient with me. These next few months might be a little spotty.

If you missed my earlier announcement, I am on the hunt for our third book.

I have gotten some great pitches and submissions (and we've only just started looking).

I think a lot of that speaks to our reputation, both the reputation of Bindery, and specifically Boozhoo Books. We are publishing SOME BANGERS.

I picked up a story last night that is giving me a very similar feeling to the feeling I got when I read both What Feeds Below and Cracks: WOW. Wholly unique. I already told our acquisitions director that I THINK I MIGHT HAVE FOUND THE ONE.

The story was pitched as a horror and I don't think that's the right category and I don't think that really matters. I think this is what I want my imprint to be known for: Unique stories, told from voices that don't always get the chance to be heard. Unputtdownable stories. Consumable stories. Stories that come to life off the page.

I can't say much more than that on this public page. I will be sharing some plot points and more about the story to my paid members this weekend, so if you have been thinking about upgrading, not only do you get arcs of all our books and support this incredible imprint and mission- YOU GET THE SECRETS EARLY. Upgrade to $5 and hop in our exclusive paid members discord channel.

(I've also got a super secret What Feeds Below paid update coming this Sunday and the cover for Cracks is going to be available to paid members SOON!)

Thanks so much for supporting this imprint, y'all! It's because of you that these stories are coming to life.
