OMG "Automatic Noodle" is an instant USA Today and Indie bestseller!! AAAAAAA! Thank you so much for making this happen, humans! (I suspect some bots are reading the ebook too.)

The words "An instant USA Today and Indie bestseller" arch over a picture of my novella "Automatic Noodle," with a picture of a robot hand holding biang biang noodles in chopsticks, done in rainbow colors. There is a faint flower pattern in the background of the picture.

There is so much absolutely weird and sad shit in US politico-cultural war news today that I started to post like fifteen angry things and deleted all of them because all I want to say is hug your friends and remember that saying hello to a neighbor is worth more than 5000 hot takes online.

Do you like noodles and robots? Of course you do! And because I love you, I wrote a very cozy novella about both called Automatic Noodle, which you can pre-order now! Find out what happens when a group of abandoned bots decide to open their very own noodle restaurant in San Francisco, while the city recovers from a devastating war. https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250357465/automaticnoodle/

A picture of the book cover for Automatic Noodle, which shows a yellow robotic hand holding chopsticks that are overflowing with biang biang noodles in rainbow colors. The noodles are coming out of a box that blends into pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, and robots cooking.
