New parent by day, querying writer by night—basically, I live on chaos and caffeine. Sleep? Overrated. Sanity? Questionable. Hitting "send" on queries while covered in baby spit-up? Iconic.

This ⬇️
Not including trigger warnings in your book is a dick move. Sexual assault is not a plot twist. A graphic suicide isn't a pleasant surprise you wanna keep hidden. Stop it.

Writing a book? Hard. Querying? Pure chaos.
A Case of Madness is long out (like me), and I’m deep in the author trenches—writing, editing, and surviving the query rollercoaster. Who’s with me?

When a book bearing his name crashes through David’s window, he’s thrust into a battle between cosmic authors shaping reality and the leaders of Fate, who want to replace them with AI. Soon he has to ask himself: Is he human—or an ultimate weapon?

When David finds a book bearing his name, he learns cosmic authors shape reality through their stories. In search of his past, he joins one of them to stop the replacement of all authors with AI. But then David must choose: save the world or embrace his origins and destroy it.

One month after Hitler became chancellor, the Reichstag burned. A leftist confessed, but Nazis claimed a communist plot. Using this, they crushed dissent, arresting thousands and sending them to camps. The event warns how constructed lies can dismantle democracy quickly—parallels today are chilling.
Democracy was completely dissolved within five months of Hitler assuming office.

There are a lot of new people here 😅, so here’s a little intro: I’m José from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. I’m an avid reader and book reviewer, with a focus on queer and diverse books. I’m also a graphic designer, Spanish is my native language, and my content is always political ❤️.

Since there’s so many newbies here, I wanted to re-introduce myself✨
I’m Dyl👋🏼
I read diverse 365, I love all things queer books/authors but my favorite genres are fantasy & LGBTQ+ romance🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I’m a hater, I’ll post reviews + whatever else here🤪📚
I’m NOT a safe space for MAGAts or conservatives 💅🏼

The funny I think this is…it is time to see these men and their followers as the danger they are. Germany had their village idiot once too, but he had very smart and powerful people around him, including the media. And so does Trump. Neo-Nazis aren‘t all dumb, some are smart. That‘s the danger.

Ever wondered how people could have let Nazis overtake Germany?
Now you can see it right before your eyes. In the US, in Europe and many other countries.

Elon is a Nazi.
Trump is a Nazi.
His cabinet are homophobic racist Nazis.
MAGA ideology and supporters are Nazis and Nazi sympathizers.
Every time you hear “it’s a Roman salute.” They know it’s not a Roman salute. They are deflecting and gas lighting you.
Any questions?

Hi #booksky,
I’m an author and I wrote this book! If you’ve never seen me yell about it, these are some niche things you might find interesting about it. It’s upper YA, queer-norm, and about a chosen one who gets thrown across the universe and finds out being chosen isn’t so great.
Say hi! 👋🏻
