GIDEON 9th x V FOR VENDETTA

Necromancer-healer Daquar is oblivious to the evil of her city's totalitarian cruelty--until her rebel ex-lover exposes it. But joining the rebellion means breaking her healer vows, & destroying the govt for good means becoming a killer.

GIDEON 9th x V FOR VENDETTA

She's a government employee who always follows the rules. He's a rebel and a criminal with a good cause. They're both necromancer-healers. They'll have to work together to destroy the authoritarian govt--or die on the gallows trying.

I’m very proud of the two novels I published this year. I worked hard on these books and I stayed true to my vision. That’s what matters. ❀️

Just watched HOUSE (1977), which was super weird and fun.

Now watching CRIMES OF THE FUTURE (1970), which has already made me gag thrice.

Sweet.

Very scared and excited. Didn't think to be back here so soon.

Absolutely agree. The concept of play is integral to writing, and it’s something we should come back to often.

Ravelry: jojoinabox's Bluesy hexagon cardigan

Play is such an important part of creativity! You gotta keep the love for it.

On another note, your afghan shrug looks like a very similar yarn to what I used in a similar project a while back! www.ravelry.com/projects/joj...

We all know the famous banned books. LOLITA. 1984. CATCHER.

What are some lesser known banned books that need support? Especially with living authors who still write.
