OTHER NEWS


In an effort to disentangle myself from the Metaverse, I have deleted my Instagram profiles. I will not delete Facebook at this time, as there are far too many people and communities there that I don't want to lose touch with, but I will not be spending much time on it, and I don't plan on posting any more writing-related announcements there-- I don't want to contribute to its engagement or Zuck's bottom line anymore than I have to. I am hoping to start separating my work from Amazon as well, as I am able. 

In the meantime, you can find me on BlueSky @laurenscharhag.bsky.social. And, if you are so inclined, I am still on LinkedIn, and can be reached by email
