When you are fed up with the Hungarian propaganda about Ukraine, so you write a book about a young Hungarian volunteer who helps Ukrainian refugees in Berlin

My new book is coming out in June. Fantasy, romance and fight against climate change. I really loved writing this one.
Hungarian bookworms, attention! 📚❤️

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 had this vision for this book that I wanted the German, the Hungarian and the Ukrainian flag on the cover.

I got what I wanted.

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 one of your amazing readers takes your book with them on the Berlin school trip because your book is set in Berlin.
I adore my readers.

They say write the book you want to read.

I really wanted to read a book about how young Hungarians reacted to the Russia-Ukraine war.

So I wrote the book.

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

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.

3 years ago in January I was working on a book about a #Hungarian neopagan "viking" guy's adventures in Europe, when I heard that something terrifying was boiling in Russia and in #Ukraine.
I stopped writing for a while.
And realized I wanted to write about the invasion.🧵
