RIP Twitter

Notice!

I have deactivated my X account (formerly Twitter) because, given the state of current events, the app is quite toxic. I have moved over to Bluesky to keep up with updates on my stories, books I’m writing, and writing in general.

Please find me at heatherkrowe.bsky.social!

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Cheers,

H.K. Rowe
