The worst thing about having food sensitivities is that I LOVE baking and now have to relearn. I was never big on cake before but now that I can’t eat it, I want it! So this was a great pre-birthday present from my folks 😭😭

THIS SATURDAY, I am teaming up with @thistle-nightshade.bsky.social for our first SUMMER READING SHINDIG!! This event is for kids, tweens, and teens, and is absolutely free!

Several local authors will be there, and I'm lucky enough to be featured with THE GLADE! Come hang from 10-1 on Saturday!!

Well, well, well, what's this? A panel at this weekend's Bay Area Book Fest, you say? It's true!! Catch my dork ass and four superstar colleagues of color—Zetta Elliot, Gloria Huang, Avione Lee, and Sistah Scifi founder Isis Asare —talking about the worlds on our pages and in our heads!

Yesterday was release day for THE GLADE!! I'm so proud of this book and so happy it'll be in the hands of kids. I hope the ones who need it find it.

I still have physical ARCs if any reviewers/educators/librarians would like them!!

Yay that's me!! THE BRUISING OF QILWA is an adult slice-of-life fantasy novella set in a Persian-inspired secondary world; my story "Break Through Our Skin" in THE WHITE GUY DIES FIRST examines body horror from a trans perspective; and THE GLADE (out on TUESDAY!) is my MG horror debut!
