Seeking additional street team members for The Protector and the Annihilation!

Graphic with a design that says "Burn the Sea" is a Goodreads Editors' April Book Pick and an Amazon Editors' Pick for Best SFF in April Little popouts say "This is not a joke!" and "I triple checked." There is also an image of the novel, Burn the Sea. Its cover features an Indian woman with long, curly black hair who is wearing a green lehenga choli and is playing a tambura. A dagger is propped against her leg.
So ... somehow this is a think that happened

WTF
Blue graphic with glowing yellow text that reads, “COVER REVEAL!” and credits art to Marcela Bolívar and design to Caitlyn Boyd. The cover revealed is that of THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter. The cover’s main color palate is glowy blues and aquas and features two girls holding hands while standing face-forward. One girl has a missing eye and a place her torso reveals instead a ribcage. The other girl has a hand that has become skeletal. In a satchel the second girl wears sits a skeleton-rabbit. Behind the girls looms a large skeleton-deer, with one antler replaced by vines. Very moody and atmospheric. The graphic also shows that the book has pale-green sprayed edges, stenciled with deer skulls and the same antler/vine combination.
Blue graphic (with the book’s cover watermarked beneath) that reads, “About the Book” followed by the tagline, “Hayao Miyazaki meets Guillermo del Toro in this Sapphic YA portal fantasy in which a girl must save her changeling girlfriend from a terrifying faery realm,” and the synopsis: “Nola James can handle it. She can handle that her father is dead. She can handle that her friends, bored with her grief, left her behind. Nola James has to handle it because Lumi―the love of her life and a faery changeling―is in danger. Not only is Lumi's human mother trying to kill her, but she’s being hunted by veiled monsters that want to return her to the fae. Hiding out in an abandoned cabin with only a skeleton-rabbit for company is hard, but Nola can handle it. And she does. Until Lumi is abducted. In order to save her, Nola must enter the faery realm: a boggy world in which eyeless horses parade as brides, ghost-bees produce transformative honey, and skeletons dance in skin-colored cloaks. Aided by a witch-girl with uncertain motives, Nola uncovers the realm’s terrifying power over changelings. Unless Nola can outplay an abyssal faery queen and find the courage to let the world see her own pain, Lumi will be trapped―not only in faeryland but in a skin that’s not her own.” Finally, the graphic lists the book’s publication date as September 29t, 2026.
Trope map graphic for THE BONE BRIDES that includes, “queer girls in love”; “are skeleton rabbits cute?”; “portal fantasy”; “mental illness rep”; “don’t look up”; and “haunted figs.” It also includes the book’s publication date of September 29, 2026.
Today is cover reveal day for THE BONE BRIDES, and I am vibrating like a star in the sky! Not in my wildest imaginings did I ever think I would have a cover this beautiful.
THE BONE BRIDES comes out Sept 29th---with exquisite spredges exclusive to the first edition! Pre-order links in bio!
STUNNING
PRODIGAL TIGER is out in the world today.
Even typing these words out feels surreal. 7 years of work and 7 years of a wild, wonderful ride, and now it’s over.
Or rather—it’s just beginning.
A screenshot of text that reads: "Prodigal Tiger 3 oz unfiltered sake ½ oz jasmine rice syrup* a little grated jaggery a splish Trader Joe’s Sparkling Coconut Water with Yuzu (or similar) Shake sake, rice syrup, and jaggery with ice. Top with sparkling coconut water. Prodigal Tigress (non-alcoholic) 1 oz jasmine rice syrup* 1 tsp lemon juice ½ tsp rice vinegar a little grated jaggery 125ml Trader Joe’s Sparkling Coconut Water with Yuzu (or similar) Stir rice syrup, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and jaggery. Top with sparkling coconut water. *Jasmine rice syrup is made by combining equal parts steamed brown jasmine rice, hot water, and sugar in a blender. You can let it sit for 10 minutes and then strain out the rice pulp, but I frankly like drinking it pulpy ;P"
A photo of two fancy cocktail glasses (one green; one blue) filled with a milky drink. They cast long, reflective shadows over the countertop. In the background, a smiling ghost lurks.
Cover of Samantha Chong's PRODIGAL TIGER, featuring a Malaysian teen girl, a fantasy tiger, and a building on fire. Lots of oranges, blues, and greens.
Happiest of pub days to my Deb Ball sister, Samantha Chong, and her phenomenal YA fantasy, PRODIGAL TIGER!! In her honor, may I present.... Prodigal Tiger-themed cock/mocktails!
🎉Wayward Souls is out in the US today!🎉
I’m so grateful this gothic, supernatural mystery series found its readers, and that I had the opportunity to tell this story! I hope you enjoy it <3.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
I'm in the ED being monitored post-anaphylaxis.
Absolutely WILD that a (very sweet) hospital administrator just came in and asked if I want to pay my co-pay before I go.
I was just fighting for my life (& am still not stable enough to go home), but I guess we need to take care of capitalism first
oh god help, THE LORD OF THE WOOD is available to request on Netgalley which I guess means people are about to READ my queer cozy horror??
