COVER REVEAL!!! My debut novel will be hitting the shelves on June 2! How gorgeous is this design by Emily Mahon (art direction by @nlcaputo.bsky.social)? 🐇🦊

#DebutNovel #Booksky #CatapultBooks
Cover of Rabbit, Fox, Tar featuring a black linocut of a large house with a woman in a wide-brimmed hat walking by. Smudges of purple obscure the image. The title, author’s name, and “A Novel” are printed in bold, serif font.

The best non-spoilerly pitch I can make for my story in this is:

“Have you ever arrived at a family dinner and wanted to murder everyone present?” *

Dispelling Fantasies made the BSFA longlist!!! I'm honored. Academics don't publish books to make lots of money, so being recognized by my fellow SFF lovers and having people tell me the book has been useful to them is the thing that keeps me going in my research!
