    You Have to Believe You're Exceptional

    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!).
