I believe that goodness will not only prevail but shine and create a movement so powerful it cannot, will not, be diminished by this silly regime. Empress is a force and, like you so eloquently expressed, may be taxed, but will never stop. ❤️
Meanwhile, The Rolling Stones had a photo of a crotch with a working zipper on their album cover called STICKY FINGERS, but I guess it's okay when it's a guy's zipper. Fingers crossed the tariff situation gets worked out and the book gets into readers' hands soon!
It's launching on 6/24 from Simon & Schuster--but you're so right about the sexism and, well... ageism because the same distributor that banned us also distributes ACOTAR, which is FULL of X-rated nookie between twenty-somethings! But if you're over 38, forget it! It's porn! Thankfully, that's fixed... The tariff issue is harder to gauge; we're going to have to be creative.
This SO sucks, but I'm glad you ladies aren't stopping. I love that the books are made with bamboo. That's frickin' awesomesauce. How do you keep all the balls in the air that you're juggling? Running this biz, that... ahem OTHER project, your own writing (you're writing, right?).
Oh, I am writing... :) And we're just lucky to have had such wise counsel on handling the ban and these tariffs. People really stepped up to help us, and we're so grateful.
its great you are wirking with Chinese....when we get sane (if we do) we will need to co operate with them financially and at all levels...our country compared to their technology their vision their talent is rapidly gathering dust in a corner....anyways good job💥💫💪
Paper not made from trees? What is it made from? Thats amazing. I just hope it’s not toxic. Maybe tariffs will inspire more new US printers which nourishes competition and lower prices. But that would take time. Sigh.
It's made from bamboo! Can you imagine??? And no, not at all toxic - there are very strict standards. :) It would take years for US paper and printers to innovate - one can only hope they eventually catch on, but we do so by building bridges, not through retaliatory nonsense. :)
You have been thrown every conceivable curveball and you just don’t stop. Because you are unstoppable! And what you’re doing is monumental. As Kimberly says, goodness will prevail. And this is pure golden goodness. 🤗🩷🤍🩷

I couldn't say it better, thank you Kimberly!
I'm so impressed (Empressed?) by what you are doing. We need more of this kind of energy in the world. I'm going to order the book right now.
Bahaha... Thanks, Shelly! So glad you are with us. :)
Absolutely fantastic!!!
Thanks, Susan! 💛
Keep kicking ass! You are my role model. I'll launch Scribo Editions this year.
Thanks, mister! So excited for you!

Can't wait to get my 6 copies! Stay strong (you always do) and keep fighting. The book WILL find its way to the right audience.
Huzzah!!!!
Ugh, I'm sorry Empress is caught up in the tariffs mess. But I always respect and admire your spirit, Alisa! Empress WILL thrive!
We're going to be OK, but the uncertainty and figuring out... are a doozy!
"Nevertheless, she persisted", she will prevail and she will KICK ASS! Such an inspiration.
Thanks, Weston! 😂 That means everything. :) So many of our vendors are saying they're not raising their prices, so we are holding fast.⛵️ ☸️

Thanks, Appleton! That means a lot. :) And YES to collaboration at all levels - there's so much to learn from each other. 🤝
Huzzah indeed. ❤️bamboo baby!
If the recession gets too bad, people can always eat our books? 🐼 😂
