Diary Comic: my book arrived
Poking the Squid author copies in my hot hands
THE AUTHOR COPIES OF MY BOOK ARRIVED!
Poking the Squid is a graphic (in more ways than one) wild ride through the latest and greatest research on animal sex, informed by decades of feminist and queer intervention into knowledge production in biology.
Preorder helps authors so much! It informs the publisher’s decision of whether they want to work with me again. And it tells bookstores you’re interested!
For free, you can support me by requesting the book from your library (that signals to librarians to order it), adding as “want to read” on Goodreads, or “to read” on Storygraph.
Here’s a quick comic of the crashout that happened offscreen shortly after unboxing:
Putting stuff into the world is an honor and a wild ride. I am blessed with people who have supported my work for decades. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
