Well, here we are, severely deficient in Vitamin D but abundant in seasonal affections, but determined to muscle through Another Unprecedented Winter the same way we always do: clumsily and barely mentally intact.
But we’ve got reasons for pressing on, namely: Whiskey Tit turns 10 this year! And despite the long slow end-of-days and the American election year anxiety and the already-noted SADs, we’ve got big dreams for what’s left of the future.
But that future begins with you and your hard-earned cash, and if you’d made a promise not to buy more paper books until you’ve made a dent in your TBR pile, I’ve got you.
Charlotte and the Chickenman by Aina Hunter, now available as a DRM-free epub!
That’s right — download and load it on to your phone, and the next time you’re tearing into a juicy medium rare at the finest restaurant in town with the ones you love, pull it out and recite choice bits from this Afrofuturist sci-fi coming-of-age story that Dave Fitzgerald heralds as “by turns a megaphone speaker of truth to power, and a quiet fortress of self-determination and radical self-love,” and that a reviewer on TikTok says “is way too smart for me.”
Preorder: The Drowned Woman audiobook
The audiobook of The Drowned Woman by Abigail Stewart, narrated by Whiskey Tit publisher Miette Gillette (me), is in the throes of production and ready for you to preview/preorder. It, too, will be available without digital rights management or other technology that binds your use of it to spacemen billionaires, which should make you feel pretty good about yourself. There’s a little sample on the preorder page so go have a listen, okay?
