In light of the election, and the many emotions and sentiments being shared and felt across the country, I wanted to clarify and reaffirm Spooky Frog’s commitment to providing safe and inclusive spaces.

There will be zero tolerance for hate, bigotry, racism, sexism, trans-/homophobia, etc., at ANY Spooky Frog event, from vendors or attendees.

We believe in science. We believe in bodily autonomy. We believe in women’s health care and rights. We believe in protecting our earth. We believe in love over hate.

Very soon, we will be announcing an exciting new event that will take place in February 2025, and our promise to our guests, vendors, and authors is to remain steadfastly committed to those principles, no matter what.

With love, Spooky Frog

Check it out! An E-Zine and some fun events coming up at Lion’s Tooth Books with Tea Krulos-Author Page!

I finished working on this. It was a lot of data compilation and double-checking. Is it a bit ridiculous? Yes. But is it demonstrable? Also yes. It's going to be a zine/ e-book and I'll be out and about with it at a few events in September/ October (see link in comments) including a li'l party at Lion's Tooth Oct. 20. It'll be a graveyard smash!
