"I, who for two and a half years had been the center of a tender universe, felt the axis wrench and a polar chill immobilize my bones. I would be a bystander, a museum mammoth." — Sylvia Plath
"what I saw gave me an indescribable sense of mysterious elsewhere—a distant architecture, ethereal… an endless supernatural world more spiritual of the earth but created out of it."
"Sanding at the crossroads, Dignity echoes the interaction of earth, sky, and people. She brings to light the beauty and promise of the indigenous peoples and cultures that still strive on this land....
"We should be as water, which is lower than all things yet stronger even than the rocks." — Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Saying mm

Picking and packing today! Another copy of VOID from @kenlowery.bsky.social and The Librarian's Apprentice from @almostbedtime.bsky.social going out the door!

Conversion (completing the sale) is really about moving the customer to say 'Now's the time." Look at this bundle page, everything is designed to put the customer at ease with completing the purchase. Removing excuses.
Wow, they picked up the game! They've moved to consideration. At this point you need to answer questions. What is the experience like? Who is this game for and am I included? Is it worth my money and time? In the shop, we have info cards that link to our website, to help with this phase.
At awareness, you need to grab attention (and not be annoying about it). Simple communication. Your cover/box art is critical for this, because good art will not just grab people, it will invite people to pick it up.
Never had so many fat monarch caterpillars in our garden before 🦋
Get to run Blades tomorrow! found this while I was prepping. I was figuring out my fonts, but I like the little cant I put to the NEW ARRIVAL to align it to the book. The line of yellow I supposed to to give the vague impression of it standing up on a table. I love this shade or orange.
Hundreds of copies of a Thousand Year Old Vampire (accidentally delivered to my house)
As you travel further and further out of the Big City, forms begin to lose meaning. What happened on Rustic Road 55?
