This one comes out a week from today, so it's *kind of* my most recent release. Cover by @ethankocak.com. About: a Jewish, middle aged, enby graphic designer finds out the cheese monger they've crushed on for years likes them back. Oh, and it turns out he is actually a werewolf. Hijinks ensue.

I’m not fishing for sympathy here either, (not that I don’t appreciate that), I just seem not to have anywhere to really talk about this much.

I need to find a new job, preferably one that isn’t completely soul crushing (although at this point, that’s probably pie in the sky), I failed at getting something my kid wanted, I feel like such a failure in general
