Despite the book’s brilliance, Baldwin struggled to find editors who believed in a young Black, queer writer telling such a raw American story.
He wrote anyway, and changed literature forever.

Sometimes when I am writing this series, I forget that my lead character is human.
Almost everyone forgets she is human, almost as much as they forget her age.

Five years ago I published my first novel. I've grown so much as a writer since then, but this book is what truly started my journey as a writer.
It's a great summer read, available in Paperback & Ebook.

Image of text: “I imagine they didn’t tell you much about their time abroad when you were a girl. Coño, I don’t imagine these two know much about it either.” Silva leaned his forearm on the table, setting his fork at the edge of his plate. “I’m from some campo town just outside of Jumacao, and volunteered for the navy as soon as I was old enough. I rose to captain quickly because my superior officers kept getting themselves killed, and wound up encountering Lady Amelia when she and your father were cruising the oceans, just before the first invasion of Avonyr. Suffice to say after she kicked my culo a handful of times, stole from ships I was supposed to protect, and made me look a fool in front of king and country, I decided to fake my own death to escape the embarrassment.” He snorted, refilling Victoria’s cup and then his. “I respected them because they fought with honor. When bochinche spread about what they were doing, I brought Joanna with me to come support their cause.”

Image of text: Victoria switched to her native tongue. “Why do you speak our language?” “We are all from the same place,” he said, answering in kind. “A country called Borinquera, which is not of this realm. The language we speak therefore is not Spanish, as it is called here, but Borinqueran.” She touched the pendant around her neck, tracing her thumb over the engraving. “That’s impossible. I would remember—” “Do you remember anything before you were seventeen?” “No. How…?” Her eyes widened, her lower lip trembling slightly. “There are pieces of things, but my abuela told me they were dreams. That I read too many books, that I…” She wrapped her arms around her torso, rubbing one forearm. “That a car accident had taken my memory from me. That’s not true, is it?”
Today’s #WIPSnips prompt is “over”; SEND ME ON AN ADVENTURE is a big mood:
