Block 'em.

Yes, I live in Hungary.

Thank you!

Please do. Keep talking about Ukraine. I will keep writing books, even though everything seems pointless sometimes. But we need to hold onto something, we need small victories, small goals, small steps. Those are so important. We are human, after all.

I second this! Szállj el, kismadár is a really well-known song in Hungary, and the moment I saw the Hungarian title, I knew what it was a reference to. 📚🇭🇺

I'd love to say that the law is not affecting my #creative energies, but that's not true. I thought I was over this trauma, the craze, the harrassment. And this is just me. All of Hungary's #literature is affected, if you ask me. I don't really see the light at the end of the tunnel yet. Stay tuned.

It's been 18 months. Fines for booksellers, fear, plastic wraps on #queer YA books or worse, no order at all - even if there's only one gay side character in the story, like in the case of my book Tükörlelkek. No "risky" books allowed in a store near a church or a school - the 200-meter rule. Yeah.

So for the first time in my career, I had to have security guards while signing my books for my amazing readers. And what happened? The longest signing event of my career, almost three hours. Countless smiles and stories from supportive readers, photos, gifts, tears. One of the best days of my life.

So I started to speak on SM. And with the love and support, the trolls came too. It's one thing when someone with no profile pic says that I should be glad my "sex books" were even allowed to be in bookshops before, and another when someone flat out comments they'll spit on me at my book signing.
