This is a place for my literary nonsense, publishing projects, bookstore, and reviews. I started this Substack as the new home for my blog and newsletter, and have fallen in love with this community.

More about Aber Stoat Publishing and Aber Stoat Books:

The publishing division is responsible for keeping you updated on our book projects and our authors. What started off as an author-publisher journey is slowly turning into a small indie press. Updates are posted here as they arise.

The bookstore is a small online shop. We sell fantasy, romance, mystery, thrillers, sci-fi, and occults. I do pre-publication book reviews here once a week, sometimes twice if a book calls to me to rush it out! You can find it under Mandy’s Book List. My book reviews are posted on Saturdays (and Wednesdays if called). I am also a Silent Book Club host for the “Olde Carlsbad” chapter. You can find book club information here.

I am currently writing my first fantasy novel, which is taking me a long time. I have been practicing a technique called “productive procrastination” for the past year and a half. As a result, you can find other books I have worked on here:

The Heroic Misadventures of Maci and Roland

Don’t be Afraid of Sirens: Someone Needs Help

Stay up-to-date

I will post feature articles about the literary world every other Sunday, and pre-publication book reviews on Saturdays, as well as provide up-to-date news on the progress of our book projects.

Never miss an update—every new post is sent directly to your email inbox. For a spam-free, ad-free reading experience, plus community features, get the Substack app. And access our publication archives.
