Grateful for the fine folks at @LibraryJournal including several of our early 2024 books, like Womb City by @TlotloTsamaase, River Mumma by @Literati167, and Escape Velocity by @VictorManibo in their preview for next year! Read the full article below: libraryjournal.com/story/sff/SFF-…
what a tremendous night - i’ve never laughed so much on a panel. thank you @VanWritersFest for letting us run absolutely wild!
!!! See you there!
This book by Zalika Reid-Benta. A sort of Percy Jackson for adults but in modern-day Toronto with Jamaican mythological creatures. And an encounter with a celebrity in The Bridal Path who seems strikingly familiar. Wow. A thrill ride with laughs as well. Unexpected
