I’m honored to have The Shadow Galaxy on this list of 20 women’s fiction writers to add to your TBR in 2023! 2023debuts.com/blog-detail/335

@jdiannedotson Thanks for suggesting this. A good review is much appreciated but reaching out to your friends and fellow readers is priceless!

Sunday is Mother’s Day in the U.S. For those who have lost our mothers, may you feel peace and good memories. For those with difficult relationships with their mothers, may you find peace and grace for yourselves. For those of you who are mothers, guardians, caregivers: enjoy the special day!

Hype the books you love. Online and offline. I do this. And as a writer of books, I love it when readers do the same for mine. All it takes it one little fire of reader love to start fireworks for a book. There are so many wonderful books just waiting for that moment of radiance.

Just 9 more days until the cover reveal and initial preorders for my YA Lunarpunk novel, The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern, publishing October 24, 2023 via Android Press! I’m so excited! Locus Magazine will host the reveal! 🤩🔮🌙
