Hi Adrielle long time no speaky
How is the life of a published author? How is the book going?
Graveside publishing seems like a good fit for you from their name.
I was wondering if through your relationship with Graveside you could maybe recommend they at least take a look at Sarah Quinn McGrath's books. As you know Sarah helped me by designing my new cover for HereAfter Dark. She is struggling to get published as she's done for many years. I think it might be a great fit for Graveside and I owe her one and I know she probably won't ask you herself so I'll stick my neck out and ask you on her behalf. She'll probably kill me but I hope you don't mind. I don't know the background like if she has already tried them. Or if you are tired of people asking you for help I'm sorry but that's me
Good luck with everything. I am over the moon for you getting the success you deserve ❣️ Rob
Hi Rob! Nice to see you. Thank you so much. If Sarah wanted me to, I’d absolutely stick my neck out for her as I’ve done with other people. I was under the impression she wanted and preferred being indie. Otherwise, I’d have done so. I hope you’re doing well. ❤️
My publisher sold some copies of my book at Bay Area and Sacramento Book Fest! It’s so cool that my book is at these cool, big book events?!
That’s wild.
And I’m so grateful.
Have a good start to your week, everyone!
My short story, The Cryptid in the Woods, will be in Graveside Press’ upcoming Cryptid anthology!

Have a good rest of your week!

Review ebooks for my debut novel are out now (very late after release and a little different from the published version but still here):
https://booksprout.co/reviewer/review-copy/view/204105/a-ballad-of-inferno-and-ruin
So please to announce that after one week, A Ballad of Inferno and Ruin hit number 18 on Amazon’s American Horror New Releases as a bestseller!
This is obviously more than I could have ever dreamed of. Ballad is also available worldwide, but I don’t currently have translations yet.
I have also been dealing with someone on the platform emailing me and trying to threaten me, as well as telling other people on here that I’m awful, I guess. I didn’t want to bring attention to it, but for legal purposes, if this person has reached out to you, please contact me. The next step is getting the law involved and my publisher is also aware.
To this person, this is harassment and blackmail. It is illegal and I’m going to give you the chance to stop now before things crash down on you. We have an IP address and are aware of who you are.
I will press charges if it doesn’t stop.
Thank you for the love and support from those who have shown it. I’m immensely grateful.
Love,
Adri
@Olivia_Benedetti thank you and it's okay. I mean, it's not, but we have information on who it is thanks to other people who have also come forward. Despite what this person claims and is doing, I’m giving them the chance to not ruin their life. They can take it or leave it. How they proceed from here is up to them.
My book is available now!

Hi, friends!
Today is release day! Wow!
I’m officially a published author!
If anyone is international and would like a free copy of Ballad to read, I have a few ebooks I can spare!
I don’t expect anything in return, but if you did review my book after reading, that would be awesome (though it’s up to you).
Sending love!
Adri
Hi, y’all!
You can check out my book on my publisher’s website here:
https://graveside-press.com/product/ballad-of-inferno-and-ruin/
It will be available for purchase Friday! ❤️
My debut novel, A Ballad of Inferno and Ruin, is releasing in exactly one week via @gravesidepress. Just one week! Screaming, crying, throwing up. My book baby isn’t about to be mine anymore. I really hope that people, if they choose to read my book, read with an open mind. It was rejected a lot for being considered too controversial and risky. I’m grateful for Graveside for giving me the opportunity to share this story so much. It’s not a happy read, but I hope it resonates. ❤️
