y'all, this book is the one if you love magic, revolution, and words—imagine Miyazaki & Russell Hoban & the Bread and Puppet Theater all hanging out together

I wrote a story set in the SUNWARD universe and you can read it right now if you want to.

A group of sewing pins stuck into a fabric pincushion cast a shadow on paper that looks like flowers on a grassy hillside. Added digitally: a small shadow dragon, hovering nearby. Two bobbins with thread are also visible.

When I was growing up, my mom gave me a sewing box which I still use today, always reminds me of her. Included in the box was this small home-made pin cushion.

I took this photo during the pandemic while making masks because I liked the shadows. Added the shadow dragon today. #ShadowArt #Uplift

It arrived! Excited to read Sunward by @willalex.bsky.social. Had to wait for the local shop to order it for me, so a little delayed from the release date. But...yay! 🎉🎊🎉 #amreading #SFF #scifi

I’m honored and delighted!

(1/3)

Holy shit, SPREAD ME gets an absolute stunner of a review from FanFiAddict!!

"As Johnny Cash once sang, love is a burning thing, but in Spread Me, nothing’s hotter than the desert…or what lies beneath."

Cover for the new fantasy adventure novel AMNANDI SAILS, featuring the title character in silhouette back-to-back with her younger self, as a looming raven perches above.

To everyone sharing this or saying nice things about it: Thank You!

I don't care how big an author gets, Word of Mouth will always be the realest, bestest marketing joy.

I poured spirits & ancestors into every page. I hope everyone falls in love with Amnandi Khumalo!

*tapping the sign since it appears canon discourse has returned*

THANK YOU. I’m so glad that you and the book had things to say to each other.
