An orange leafy background with a blue thread of wool passing over it, as well as the occasional autumn leaves. In the centre is the cover for Common Bonds 2 (two friends knitting a sweater within a frame of autumnal leaves). The image says describes this book as “an aromantic SFF anthology” that is coming in 2026 and can be preordered through Kickstarter’s late pledges.
COMMON BONDS lovers, you can get even more of the good stuff. An entire anthology of short stories and poems that have:
💚 science fiction and fantasy
💚 aromantic MCs
💚 a focus on platonic relationships!
Publication in 2026; preorders through late pledges: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cla...

Naseem sits at a table reading The Glade with a smile. They're a light skinned West Asian with curly brown hair and blue highlights, a nose ring, and tattoos visible. On the black tablecloth are colored pens, bookmarks, some flyers, cupcakes, and a table.

Yesterday was release day for THE GLADE!! I'm so proud of this book and so happy it'll be in the hands of kids. I hope the ones who need it find it.
I still have physical ARCs if any reviewers/educators/librarians would like them!!

Bookish propaganda we’re not falling for (you can't fool us, sorry!):
🎧 “Listening on audio doesn't count as reading.”
📚 “Amazon is the best place to buy books.”
🎥 “The movie was better.”
🛍 “It's one or the other: libraries or indie bookshops.”
❌ “It's not book censorship.”
