A cover for The Glade by Naseem Jamnia. It shows a light-skinned Iranian-American tween with long wavy brown hair blowing across her face as she looks up and away, a light illuminating her from behind. Her fists are clenched and her expression is tight. She's wearing a blue-purple hoodie, halfway unzipped to show a dark shirt, and jeans. Around her are glowing green mushrooms, including ones that are twisted and gnarled like tree trunks, and long grass. Subtle spider webs cover some ares. The title and author name are at the top, with vines curled around some letters.

An image that says, "What's in The Glade?" with a picture of the cover in the middle and arrows pointing to various inclusions. These are: "anxious, nerdy, and science-y Iranian American MC; racialized and queer cast of misfits; age-appropriate discussions of anxiety, mental illness, trauma, and feeling/being othered; BIG best friend feels; Minnesota- and Midwest-isms; fungal (mushroom) horror; summer camp with secrets; creepy and incorrect nursery rhymes, creepy "kid" and disembodied voices; creepy nature and giant spiders."

I am SO EXCITED to share that my friend's book is now available for pre-order! Check out this cover, y'all!!! Naseem is one of the best humans I know and I cannot wait to get my hands on this. Go buy! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Gl...

🗣️ Attention #WritingCommunity! I've created a #Debut2025 / #25Debuts starter pack for trad pubbed authors (for pragmatic reasons, I'm looking for fellow SFF / spec fic-ers to collab on panels with in the UK 😂). If you or someone you know wants in on the pack, let me know! 🤗

My novel is in the hands of a talented cover designer. I can't wait to see what she comes up with. I've been writing all my life, but this book, this story, is unlike anything I've done before. "Found and Lost: The Jake and Cait Story" will be released April 29, 2025, by Vine Leaves Press. #25debuts
