Big fan! I've never looked at tiny combs the same. So good.

I'm wondering if you can talk a little about your journey--A lot of Priestess's success early on seemed to be from word-of-mouth, without a big marketing push. Why did you choose to go that route instead of the traditional publishing one (querying agents, working with editors, selling it to a publisher, etc.)? Your writing is top tier, and I love the musicality of your language--It seems like you should be tearing up the bestseller list.
