Today I watched this vlogbrothers video and learned that since Just Stab Me Now has sold more than 10,000 copies, (about 5x that, in fact) my self-published book is up there with the top 10% of traditionally published books.
!!!!!
So uhh…thanks for buying my book, I really appreciate it. 😁🥳

Hello, people interested in the (somewhat off-kilter) self-publishing process that led to Just Stab Me Now! I have for you: a playlist of all the videos related to that thing! youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj...
$5+ Patrons, I'll see you in...about 5 hours, I think, for our monthly livestream!

Self publishing money and sales update incoming in the next couple of hours! (Patrons and Channel Members, you have an extended version available on Patreon or on the Membership page. It contains more...randomness and unsolicited advice. There is, however, still unsolicited advice regardless of version).

Channel Members and Patrons! A compilation of Just Space Me Now, (episodes 1-10) will soon be available for you! patreon.com/jillbearup

Hot tip: you can become a trial member on Patreon for free for a week and watch the video, BUT you do have to remember to cancel, so uhh...don't do that if you are a forgetful person :D

In other news, my Internet speed is fluctuating wildly, and neither I nor my ISP know why. The new router does not seem to be helping, but we press on. On the plus side, being Less Online seems like a generally good thing, and I'm sure we'll get it sorted soon.


Now, today's REAL topic:

By surprisingly popular request, how to do Captain Bren Fletcher's braided space buns :)
You're...welcome, maybe?
(also yes I do have a channel called Jill Hairup, the puns, they are terrible)

OK, I was sceptical that AuthorsRepublic would be any less bad than INAudio, BUT:
- they responded to my emails in a timely fashion
- the emails were in understandable English
- they clearly understood my problem AND
- they fixed said problem.

All that to say, it's not over yet, but the audiobook is starting to show up outside Patreon/Audible/Apple/Spotify!

It's on STORYTEL! www.storytel.com/tv/books/just-stab-me-now-1250660…

It's on AUDIOBOOKS.COM! www.audiobooks.co.uk/audiobook/just-stab-me-now/97…

It's on OVERDRIVE! www.overdrive.com/search?q=just+stab+me+now

Eventually, I hope, it will be on all of these places, but it either hasn't shown up yet, or I haven't checked. Maybe the Audiobook Curse will be broken soon!

Patrons and Channel Members, we are up to Episode 6 of the Sci-Fi Heroine series! patreon.com/posts/just-space-me-ep-140334533

Everyone else: I hope you enjoyed Episode 3! Rosamund and Caroline will be back on Monday to publicise Just Stab Me Now's hardback release (there is a MAP! Drawn by Caroline! It looks exactly as good as one would expect a map drawn by Caroline to look!)

In the meantime, please enjoy a poll about cheese:

It occurs to me that Monday 6th October is Just Stab Me Now's HARDCOVER RELEASE DAY, and therefore I should probably put a video up about...you know, that :)
So, when would you like the next Sci-Fi Heroine episode?
