Pre-order To Kill a Queen now

Join Amie in Barcelona for a book event on Friday November 7th!

Join us for a rambling discussion that starts with us assessing how successful we feel, goes on to a long digression about preserving energy for hard times, talks about honesty in the publishing industry, and finished with Amie's message to artists just starting out.

Pre-order To Kill a Queen, Amie's book about a non-binary detective in Elizabethan London who has the hots for their bartender. If you're outside the US, your only choice is to get it shipped to you from Amazon :( But we are so grateful if you do!

If you're in the US, it would be a huge help to us if you pre-saved the audiobook on Spotify (even if you don't plan on listening to it there!).

Q+A ep! It just so happened to be that most of your questions were about our work and writing routines. There are also a few other Q's answered including: how exactly is making art generous, big breaks we've almost had (and why they may not have mattered anyway). Sonja, I'm so sorry, I forgot to answer your question about bilingual artists... please email us with your question again and we'll answer you.
