dear mystery

My first tangible literary project is in the world

Dear readers and friends of Stock Fiction,

I’m here to announce the official release of my bound poetry collection!

If you’re hot for unboxing vids, here’s one that belies my exuberant personality beautifully. Something about feeling proud of my accomplishments makes me shapeshift into someone who’s not only camera shy, but borderline demure. 😱

---

Yes. The book is here!

I said it would be so, and I’m a woman of my words.

I am at a loss for what else to say, except that I really didn’t think poetry would play such an important role in my writer drama journey over the past two years.

But it has.

I have so many challenging emotions, painful transformations, morbid curiosities, and mystifying individuals to thank for stimulating the word art in this book.

I won’t defile the mystery by revealing any more than that.

Transformative poetry exploring the darkly evocative space between living and languishing.

If you need assurance this book will move you (or someone dear to you), here are a few assuring things readers had to say about the poems in this collection, back when they first broke ground on Stock Fiction.

“I felt seen by this poem.” —A.M.

“Highly cathartic.” —J.R.

“A beautifully written and moving piece.” —J.D.

“Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!” —S.B.

“Emotional from beginning to end.” —C.W.

“Visceral and intense.” —B.W.

“It read like a smooth rant. Powerful.” —C.S.

“Gorgeous. Creating with creativity herself.” —K.W.

“That was amazing, and it moved me.” —P.M.

“A powerful, melancholy read! After the first read through, I had to reread it again right away. I wasn’t ready to let it go.” —J.M.

Want one? 🙂

There are two ways to acquire a copy of dear mystery.

Option 1 - Lulu Bookstore

Easy breezy online shopping experience. This is a great option for anyone outside of the U.S. as Lulu operates globally, so shipping should be relatively quick and reasonably priced!

Option 2 - My Dining Room/Office

Buying the book directly from me comes with a few personal touches.

Your copy of dear mystery will be:

☑️Signed by the author

☑️Hugged by the author

☑️Lavender scented

And while the price (book plus shipping) will be roughly the same, I’ll retain Lulu’s distributer cut which means I can put that extra change toward publishing another book for you in the spring. Like we always talked about. 💜

Please do me the honor of sharing this publishing announcement with the indie art lovers in your life. Or just share it broadly with the millions of people you’ve never met on social media.

Every little bit helps. 💜

Yours in poetry,
