Végre eljutottam odaáig, hogy felvettem vagy nyolc videót, és újra próbálok kialakítani egy videós-forgatós rendszert, hogy beleférjen az életembe, szurkoljatok, mennie kelllll, főleg az új könyvem megjelenése előtt egy hónappal!

As of today, Pride in BANNED in Hungary. In the heart of the European Union. How can this happen? The decision was based on the same "child protection" law that messes with my books as well. I am angry. Again.

This Hungarian writer supports Ukraine.
I wrote a novel that's set at the time when Russia started the invasion. My book has the German, the Hungarian and the Ukrainian flags on the cover. Of course I support Ukraine.

I was once asked to write the script for a famous Hungarian band's music video, adapting one of my books.
I'd never done anything like that before, but I put it together in 2 hours.
The band loved the concept, but never got the funds needed to shoot it. Still, I'm proud of it.

"When you look at the price of a book and you're like - wait, am I buying the author as well?"
Yes, you are. We pour our hearts and souls into creating a story, and months, years of work. Btw editors, cover artists, etc. need to be payed as well.

I wonder how many published authors are out there who first picked up the pen/keyboard because of My Chemical Romance. (That's me, yes.) Anyone else? I know you're out there.

Back in June 2023 someone threatened to spit on me at my upcoming book signing.
After they started fining booksellers because of the child protection law in #Hungary, I got a weird call from my publisher. Let's get into it...

Been learning Spanish for a few months, but now, while watching what's going on in the US... I am taking this language learning much more seriously, I'll tell you that much. Your culture is amazing, you are amazing!

Talking about the #Hungarian child protection law and its effects on publishing is actually painful for me, it brings up the trauma of the last 3 years over and over again, but that's the thing, you need to be able to talk about it. I once got a death threat, for crying out loud

I've been picking up my mental health piece by piece since the book laws in Hungary, I've finally submitted a manuscript that'll be published, but one tiny reminder of the laws is enough, and I'm right back on the floor. When will this end? I want to write! Freely!

In May 2023 several of my novels got wrapped in plastic in bookshops, courtesy of the child protection law in #Hungary. One of my #youngadult #books had been on the shelves for 8 years before that law. Shops are afraid of the fine, which they can get because of ONE gay side character. #booksky #art

I might share some stuff about the Hungarian child protection law and its devastating effects on the publishing industry and the #LGBTQ+ community here in #Hungary. As a YA #author, I am affected by it as well. I was asked to speak on the subject in Brussels a year ago. Interested?

You know the urge to write a romantasy series set in a small town in the US? The town is Gold Beach, #Oregon. The story is about witches, Healers, climate change and Mother Nature. It'd be so cool if folks in Gold Beach and South Oregon knew about my novels.

Maybe the only way to cope with this horrific NG situation is to create. Make art. We need new stories, new voices, new experiences. We need to heal each other.

As an author I admired NG. It almost felt like he was my friend. I asked for his advice once on tumblr and he responded almost immediately. I know it sounds weird, but it feels like I've just lost a friend. Grief, anger, disappointment.
