“If you’re in the mood for an adorably feel-good queer love story sprinkled with spice, plant magic, and the occasional witty banter... HOMEGROWN MAGIC should be your next comfort read.” @architamittra reviews @jamiepacton.bsky.social & Rebecca Podos locusmag.com/2025/06...

Happy Valentine’s Day from the bisexual simps of HOMEGROWN MAGIC 💕🌈🌱

Some of the contributors to WHY ON EARTH talked about queerness and the inspirations behind their stories over on @lgbtqreads.bsky.social! Check it out 🌈📚

It is a truth universally acknowledged that authors will promote a B&N sale, even during a government coup. HOMEGROWN MAGIC is currently 25% off for B&N members, and remember to submit your receipts to the digital preorder campaign (link in my bio) ✨

Just a reminder that you should read books by black authors year around ✨️

Here are some favorites to get you started.

Happy Black History Month!

“I wrote myself in since I'm me and I'm here and I'm writing.” — Octavia Butler

Stories and representation is vital One thing I’m going to always do is write Black heroines in all their multi-faceted beauty. Also, support Black authors years around!

HOMEGROWN MAGIC—our cozy, cottagequeer, NB/f fantasy romance—hits shelves in less than 2 months, and fun news:
In addition to our physical preorder campaign, Del Rey is running a digital preorder campaign! Submit receipts from anywhere, including for audiobook and ebook, and from outside the U.S.

Anyway, @jamiepacton.bsky.social and I have a queer romantasy, HOMEGROWN MAGIC, coming out in March. We didn’t write it for “the enthralling promise of sex with vampires, manticores, werewolves, and other types of monsters and shape-shifters,” though there’s nothing fucking wrong with that!

On the bright side, I can officially say I’ve got three stories I love on the way to bookshelves this year:

3/11: HOMEGROWN MAGIC, a cottagequeer romantasy co-written with @jamiepacton.bsky.social

10/14: THIS IS HOW WE ROLL (cover tk), a YA TTRPG antho edited by @rosieethor.bsky.social

TBA: 🕵🏻🔥

I can't think of a better way to break ground on the new account than by celebrating this absolute banger of a book. Loved it so much I had to buy pine berries for the shot (and to eat). HOMEGROWN MAGIC, by @jamiepacton.bsky.social and @beccapodos.bsky.social -- is out March 2025!

I love book dedications, but hear me out - book admonishments. This next book goes out to my nemesis and should be considered a threat.

A) WICKED was 🩷excellent💚

B) Yael Clauneck from HOMEGROWN MAGIC is somehow a non-binary Fiyero, and Margot Greenwillow is a bisexual Elphaba, and my mind won’t be changed about that

an oldie but a goodie -- quinta and twain from @jamiepacton.bsky.social's THE VERMILION EMPORIUM!! #art #fantasyart #illustration

For Sapphic September, @jamiepacton.bsky.social and I get to sneakily and sapphically preview the cover of FURIOUS, out next June. It's a love letter to Car Girls and Bike Girls, to summer, to the family you're born with and family you find, to queer kids in the south, and to Letty Ortiz ❤️‍🔥
