I hear we're making female rage book lists? Consider adding Saints of Storm and Sorrow. My Bisexual lead is chosen by the Goddess of Storms and Vengeance and this book is all about embracing the anger deep down inside of you and making it everyone's problem. So add Saints to your reading list!

I want more from love triangles than the FMC chosing btwn 2 brooding men blond and brunette

So I wrote a bi-panic love triangle btwn an FMC hiding her witchcraft in a nunnery, a Sapphic nun torn btwn love and faith, & a tide-touched healer in love w/ the FMC since she saved him from a sea dragon

I hope you'll check out my work Saints of Storm and Sorrow and Daughters of Flood and Fury. I pitch this duology as a Filipino mythology Avatar the Last Airbender except the Avatar is NOT a pacifist

It's Filipino American History Month and I'm a queer Fil-Am author writing award nominated Filipino epic fantasy that tackles generational trauma, anti-colonial themes, and the catharsis and strength in naming our hidden burdens instead of endless "resilience".

Now that's Sobrang Pinay 🙌🏽🇵🇭

Aren't you Tired of being Nice?

Good, Daughters is
NOT about: Healing from the trauma of youth and learning to forgive and forget

More: They broke our halos so we grew teeth- time to feed the ones who wronged us to the depths of the sea 🌊🐊🌊

Come meet Inez in Daughters of Flood and Fury

We all love: "I'd kill for you"

So how about: "I do not heal and I do not save, but whatever power I have it is yours. Let the tides turn and the seas roar. walk with me and the sea will rise on the wings of my Storm... Aynila won't mourn the death of monsters"

Gabriella Buba - Preorder Daughters of Flood and Fury @gabriellabuba.bsky.social · 9d

When the one the MC loved through the darkest times in their lives, who betrayed her, and everything they'd built, and is begging for forgiveness.... But some things can't be forgiven

I loved you. I'm sorry

I don't want to spoil by identifying the ship from Saints but if you know you know 🥲🥲🥲😭

Gabriella Buba - Preorder Daughters of Flood and Fury @gabriellabuba.bsky.social · 11d

And it won't ask you to cut yourself down to fit their mold. It won't need you to be small or quiet or happy for scraps.

I'm rooting for us all to find it. 3/3

Who learned they were only palatable and loved when they were young and innocent. But growing up is messy. Adulthood is hard. And it's even harder when you learn family support can be conditional.

Please know there is a love and acceptance out there for you

As Bi Visibility month comes to a close I wanted to leave you with this 💗💜💙

I wrote Saints of Storm and Sorrow for every queer mixed kid that grew up always feeling like they were too much and not enough for both sides of their family. Who tied themselves in knots to find a place they'd "fit". 1/3

Book 2 Lunurin is really attempting to be a good influence on her sister Inez, but Inez is here for the drama, and never saw a bad idea she didn't like 🤣😇🐊🐉🌊

The Stormbringer Duology is complete and now you can read my Filipino mythology epic fantasy except the Avatar is not a pacifist.

and Vengeance burning in her eyes and a Typhoon brewing in her bones. Who will do ANYTHING for the ones she loves - even if she must topple empires into the sea

Gabriella Buba - Preorder Daughters of Flood and Fury @gabriellabuba.bsky.social · 13d

Not enemies to lovers BUT...

A Marriage of Convenience

Between a prince sworn to the all merciful Goddess of the Sea. A healer, bound by duty, prepared to sacrifice himself and everyone he loves to maintain the fragile peace in his half-conquered city

And a woman chosen by the Goddess of Storms

Not exactly: "Who did this to you?" The MMC asks the injured FMC

MORE: The FMC in the center of the wreckage of the storm she called at the behest of the Goddess of Vengeance, touching the blood running down the side of the MMC's face asking,
"Did I do this?"

I know my readers hate her, but to me she's incredibly tragic. Doomed by her faith in an institution that will never keep her safe, but unable to see how to grow beyond it- even when it's destroying her. Art by @artiodaktyl

Vibes for your toxic Sapphic nuns?

When Forbidden love and Foreign faith are tearing you apart....

Will martyrdom bring the peace you crave?

Meet Catalina my favorite and most unlikable character from Saints of Storm and Sorrow.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.
