JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

As a new executive order concerning education comes into effect today, I want to see every single publishing imprint hauling ass getting diverse books printed. I’m so serious, they better double their marginalized authors.

Look at this mess and tell me we don’t need diverse books to educate.

A photo of an ARC of THE ASHFIRE KING against the backdrop of my bookshelves, which are filled with copies of THE STARDUST THIEF

*inhales* MY SEQUEL IS BOOK-SHAPED!! ✨

Or well, mostly book-shaped! These are advance reader copies, which I wasn’t expecting to get! These copies are missing some of the polish of the final book, but it is a story in full & I am overjoyed to have it in this form 🥰

ASHFIRE is out April 15, 2025!

Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle This gorgeously dark academia fantasy follows a teen mage who must unravel the truth behind the secret society that may have been involved in her classmates’ deaths.

What if there were zodiac signs but for moon phases? And the tide levels also affected your chart? And this combination of lunar house & tidal alignment gave you a particular magical power?

I wrote that in CURIOUS TIDES. You can take a quiz to find out yours: simonteen.com/p/curious-ti...

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

What is one simple act of resistance that will absolutely infuriate any authoritarian determined to make the world ignore pandemics and climate change?

If you've, at any point, said you support trans people and our right to exist, great, now is when you put your money where your damn mouth it.

Support our fundraisers. Give us jobs. Hire trans writers. Trans artists. Defend us when we're attacked. It's not hypothetical anymore, don't be a coward.

One of the things we should be prepared to see more of? Parents being robbed of their choices for their own children, under the argument that if they were going to choose access to LGBTQ+ content/inclusion they weren't fit to make those choices at all.

That's the argument one lib board makes here.

Graphic of the Drowned Gods trilogy which consists of CURIOUS TIDES and STRANGER SKIES (books 1 and 2, out now) and an untitled book 3 (release date to be announced). Word cloud graphic of tropes included in CURIOUS TIDES and STRANGER SKIES. 

For CURIOUS TIDES, we have: Ninth House meets A Deadly Education; love triangle (square?); murder mystery; dual POV; magic based on moon phases and tide levels; complicated friendships; dark academia with cult-like secret society; myths and stories that might be more real than they seem.

For STRANGER SKIES, we have: Ninth House meets The Hazel Wood; time travel shenanigans; multi POV; gods, ghosts, and monsters; book nerds meeting their literary hero (and freaking out about it); portal fantasy; magic based on moon phases and tide levels (and other cool new magics); dark academia with cult-like secret society; complicated friendships (sooo complicated); myths and stories that might be more real than they seem (definitely real and very strange indeed).

Hi #booksky! If you’re looking for dark fantasy books set at a magical college w/ secret societies, drowned students washing up on shore (alive?), and a fun magic system based on moon phases, let me direct you to the Drowned Gods trilogy.

First 2 books, CURIOUS TIDES & STRANGER SKIES, are out now!
