Is it hot in here or is that just sapphic romantasy page overlays for Faebound by Saara El-Arifi? This is the German edition, I believe, but this artwork needs no translation! 🥵🔥🥵🔥

Abortion is healthcare.

Can't believe that's controversial in 2025.

Books 1 & 2 are out now.
Book 3 next year.

Took me years to put it to paper, but it’s *always* been there. It’s a difficult world to revisit.

When WHO FEARS DEATH was in development at HBO, I deeply understood that I NEEDED to finally write Najeeba’s part of the story. Otherwise…she’d get erased.

I don't know anything about the Met Gala, I don't know the date or the theme or most of the celebs or any of the designers but once a year my social media is flooded with pictures of beautiful people in weird fashion and I love it. Aesthetic enrichment for my enclosure.

My brain while reading a thriller:
“He did it. Wait, no — she did. No wait — OH MY GOD WHAT IF I DID??”

I got commissioned to paint griddlehark imagined as a classic romance novel cover, which needless to say is one of the greatest commissions of all time and I had an absolute blast.

Ahhh the sequel to Immortal Dark has a cover, it’s incredible! This is US, can’t wait to see the UK cover. It truly is the time of the Black vampires.

a very good feeling is getting a book from the library that you were considering purchasing and then finishing it and thinking "that sucked ass, i'm so glad i get to give this shit back"

Alright 2 months later but I'm finally done with all my uni stress so now it's only regular stress left, which means I at least have time for books and fun stuff again !!

Picked this up yesterday, absolutely loved it. Scottish writer as well!

Would highly recommend it, and it only has 80 pages
