Reporting back in on my 11 year old reading Kaleidoscope for the first time.

She absolutely adored Cookie Cutter Superhero by @tansyrr.bsky.social . She came in, hands clasped and announced, "It was Soooooo Goooood."

ICYMI: new book! Some other things I like about this one:
- revolutionaries
- tired parents
- minor heist/con vibes
(& also I still love the space dragons & am lowkey considering returning to them in a future book)

Today was the day I handed my 11 year old kid a copy of Kaleidoscope and said, "I think this is what you are looking for."

She currently has her nose buried in it. Do you KNOW what a win this is to overcome the lure of the DEVICE????

I am pretty pleased though that these school holidays, my eldest (who is 11), has discovered Orphan Black. We're slowly watching the eps together. I am thoroughly enjoying the rewatch. Though I'm not sure if this is the best parenting choice? The violence is fine but we have to fwd the sexytimes...

I feel like I am 100 years old - I was unable to post to this account because I couldn't remember where I put the password I used to set up this account.

*cough*

And how long did it take me to fix this? Less than 30 secs you say? Uhuh.

I'm so excited - our latest release is finally out. Scales of Resistance is a wonderful novella by @julietk.bsky.social and cover by @petermball.bsky.social . It's exactly the kind of read we need these days.
