current reads: THE NATURALS by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (been on my #tbr forever) and MO DU (Silent Reading) by Priest. Both have a lot of murder, both are really well-crafted, I am kinda suffering because I don't do well with violence against women. #danmei#cnovels#ya#amreading
Books make the world better.
This week I'll be posting about some of my favorite books YA, their covers and their fabulous opening lines.
“The island of Gont, a single mountain that lifts its peak a mile above the storm-racked Northeast Sea, is a land famous for wizards”
-A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

Holy shit, I think I've finished final edits on my new book 'Migration', an indigenous-scifi YA novel. It's been months since I got changes back from my editor at Huia Publishers and even longer since I first started writing the damn thing, back in 2017??
I've been working on it off and on in between other projects, and it's almost done, fucking yay me!!
Hey, I'm Falco! a high-risk art hermit- in dire need of ongoing help!

Free book? Free book! And it is an incredible one. SOS (nice anagram) is a YA about the children of famous superheroes, it's got an incredible queer (& often disabled) cast, and it's full of family secrets. HIGHLY recommend!
Back to YA sci-fi and Alechia Dow's wonderful work with this alien invasion story starring a Black biromantic demisexual MC with a secret library. Also: alien/human roadtrip, lots of music and book nerdery, and an instance of two demisexual relating to each other through their aceness that was super well done.

I write speculative #YA ranging from ghost-laden mysteries to magical thrillers to stuff that's just, well, weird. Lately I've been wanting to write more short stories or flash. #VCFA#sff#kidlit
Photography-wise, I'm up for anything, but expect a lot of pics of small animals, both wild and domestic. Here are a few faves:
