A holiday message from this delinquent blogger
Yes, I am holding my new book. You can buy it at Fully Booked, Mt Cloud, Solidaridad and Shopee, or order a signed and gift-wrapped copy right here.
I apologize for not having blogged regularly in the last couple of years. The page views had dropped, but that’s not an excuse. I figured the readers had all decamped to the social media, so I asked my friends to set up and manage social media accounts for me. This blog has a Facebook page and my cats have an Instagram account—they’re updated daily by our social media manager Bubbles, and doing very well, thank you. My hiatus from blogging allowed me to figure out how to keep writing for a living when all my old jobs have died or mutated.
The answer, funnily enough, is Books. Having spent the last quarter-century wondering how to support myself so I can write books, I find that I should just write the blasted books. The digital revolution has killed a lot of things, but books have survived and are thriving. Yay!
So this blog is aliiiiive, and from hereon I will be updating it at least twice a week. I hope my old readers will come baaaaack and new readers will wander onto this site. In the coming weeks I will post photos, videos, and podcasts from my book talks in November.
You can reach me in Comments, by email at saffron.safin@gmail.com, or DM @jessicazafrascats.
Have a comparatively stress-free holiday season, and don’t feel compelled to act happy unless you really are happy!

Hi, Jessica! I’m still lurking here daily to check if there’s a new update. Holiday greetings to you, too.
Do you still have a copy of your Twisted Travels (Rambles in Central Europe) and this? I’ll send you the payment + shipping cost to either Nueva Ecija this December or wait for my colleagues to take them to me here in the desert in February.
No need to approve this comment. Thanks!
