Psychopomp

The World Fantasy Awards are about to start! Whether E. Catherine Tobler receives a tree statue or not, I would love to know that Elise's needs are being met. If you could honor her with some support in her recovery from cancer, chemo, and complications, that would be a great and beautiful thing. 💖

It only takes a minute, and it doesn’t have to be much if we all pitch in. Consider donating to this worthy cause:

@talkwordy.bsky.social hey. email me (not urgent. nbd, i just don't have your email address!)

get in, we're raising funds for Elise

Buy my books as I am presently without income and royalties could really help me get through. Woo cancer!! Free shipping at Bookshop, anti-Prime days. share.google/hLyufbIZeBVR...
