Only a couple of days away from the start of @canconsffh.bsky.social, during which I have panels and a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! :D Join us this weekend in Ottawa if you can!

Okay so I was supposed to promote the Regency/steampunk costume party at @canconsffh.bsky.social and instead I did things like grant applications for work and writing my next novel, anyway you don’t have to dress up but I’d be grateful if you did and I’ll be wearing The Dress so you won’t be alone 💛

I will be at @canconsffh.bsky.social this weekend, and launching the book on Friday evening - and you'll be able to buy it all weekend at the Wolsak and Wynn table! Come find me and say hello - as per usual I'll be wearing something extravagant and impractical. #WritingCommunity #booksky #horrorsky

Can anyone help out Marissa on her apple quest???
