@sonorareyes.bsky.social you’ve done it again! This ARC was AMAZING! Cesar is one of my favorite characters and his story spoke volumes. The way you were able to capture mental health.. PHENOMENAL.

Yall watch out for September, because you’re going to want to get your hands on this one!

15 paramedics were killed by the IDF. The IDF told many lies to deflect blame, but there was footage disproving their claims... how long will we allow the curse of Israel to haunt the Palestinians? It seems that Netanyahu and Trump are content to wait it out. Trump Gaza was not a joke but a threat

Why does a villain have to be racist? Why does a character who is supposed to be awful have to be racist? Why? Why is that the go to? I see so many people saying “readers shouldn’t tell authors what to write, it’s fiction” but where is the EMPATHY? Where did it go?

It feels like it doesn’t exist.
