The big reveal: announcing The Book

January 1, 2010 by Andrea Bellamy 20 Comments

Posts were few and far between on Heavy Petal in 2009, and if you’re still reading, I’m grateful (and a little surprised!). I was busy writing a book. There, I said it. I’ve been afraid to mention it here in case I jinxed it, but I’m forcing myself to do it now. Kind of a […]
