If someone posing as me calls you and wants to represent your book, it's not really me. There's a scammer posing as me so please disregard anything this person says and DM me if you want to report it.

Beware! There are scammers using my name and image sending out phishing emails about getting your book published. If you get something from a Ross Yoon email address and connected with Waterstones UK books, it is NOT LEGIT. Don't fall for it!

I’ve written a book! It’s taken two years, a lot of stress (and some fun), and I think it’s the best work I’ve ever done. (Unless everyone hates it, in which case I do too.) The announcement from Axios AM: axios.com/2023/01/20/ben-ter… Pre-order!: amazon.com/Big-Break-Weirdos…

So, just hours after our live interview with Victoria Lai, owner of @icecreamjubilee she had a baby boy!! She told us she was nine months pregnant but was so chill and matter-of-fact about it. Wow! What a trooper. Baby’s name TBD. Congrats all the way around.
