First (and probably last) post!

Salutations!

This is just a quick post to say that I'll be mostly staying off Goodreads. I'll try to log on occasionally (like... very occasionally!) to pick up any questions, but the best place to keep track of what I'm up to and any book news will be my newsletter or my social media profiles, both of which can be found on my website (I'm @mhayinde almost everywhere!)
