📣EXTRA, EXTRA!📣The people of @CullmanTimes1 have spoken and are sextupling the book buzz for Blackstone's lineup of 2025 releases! Check out the latest jam-packed praise for @marshallkarp, @jjacobsonwrites, @jonbassoff, @jenevarosebooks, @sallypagebooks, & #SandraChwialkowska!
I feel wonderful when somebody gives my novel a great review, but I also take perverse pleasure when somebody hates the story because writing novels is tortuous, and I like people to share in my misery.

If you love strange, haunting settings, the books on this list are for you (@jonbassoff) buff.ly/AJjylkL
Whenever young authors approach me filled with self-doubt and looking for advice, I always sit them down and immediately advise them to GIVE UP and STOP WRITING because then there's less competition for me.
