Salutations, dear reader. Three emails from me in a month; unprecedented, I know! But I have an early 2024 treat to unveil for you this week, so pull the dummy book off the shelves, step through the sliding secret door, and descend deep into the hidden corridor.
The Apocrypha
The Apocrypha is a luxe monthly newsletter featuring essays on writing craft and the how-to of traditional publishing, secret WIP snippets, behind the scenes insight into my process, and more. We’re kicking off the month of December with an essay about writing a narratively impactful (and hot) sex scene, and you do not want to miss it.
For $7 a month or $70 a year you’ll have a direct line to the saints (me) and access to a community of the faithful (my beloved readers).
The basic version of this newsletter, The Epistle, is what you’re reading now. It’s where all my updates about cover reveals, publishing news, and sales live, and this newsletter is now and forever free. The Apocrypha is for folks who want a deeper look at the craft that goes into my books, and who want my nonfiction writing directly in their inboxes.
If you’d like to subscribe to The Apocrypha, simply navigate to your settings in the profile drop down on Substack, click on the Epistle, and select your payment tier. You’ll remain subscribed to the Epistle but will also be signed up for a monthly exclusive email as well. Your generous donations help me carve out the time and resources writing books takes, and helps me support my career in a precarious economy and industry.
Regardless of whether you choose to join the Apocrypha or not, I’m so happy to have you here. You make all this - and all my books - possible.
Be safe and well until we two meet again!
