I can't remember the last time I had such an adventure reading a book, and my margins are doodled with proof. Saltcrop is a rollercoaster...a wet, weird, wild ride!

If you're in Austin, come hear @yumewrites.bsky.social and I chat about her latest novel Tuesday Oct 7th at First Light Books @6pm.
Saltcrop novel by Yume Kitasei, floating in a makeshift sea with a net, baby turtle, and sea shells. My margin reactions to Saltcrop: Heart, surprise face, gah!, broken heart, cat face, !!!, lol, badass, Ew

It’s #FridayReads time and Hispanic/Latine Heritage month! Let’s boost all signals. This month is great, but I write with an accent every month. Here’s a (45% off!) novel full of sazón and magic, waves and monsters, storms and revenge, crime and friendship.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

A while ago I got a review copy of PSYCHOPOMP by @mariadongwrites.bsky.social and then I didn't manage to actually review it because I am terrible - but I just want to second everything in @bogiperson.bsky.social 's glowing review here: www.patreon.com/posts/book-r...

We're kicking off the weekend with the SUPER exciting announcement that Severn House will be publishing Maria Dong newest book AVIARY 🦅

A twisted blend of #bodyhorror #gothicfantasy and #psychologicalsuspense. Hitting the shelves April 2026

@mariadongwrites.bsky.social
Korean American author of Liar, Dreamer, Thief and Psychopomp Maria Dong's AVIARY, a blend of psychological suspense, gothic fantasy, queer longing, and body horror, in which an undocumented woman in South Korea steals her dead sister's identity to move to the US and take part in an art program for underserved minorities-but the trip soon turns into a nightmare, as her destination is no ordinary art school and her sister's death was definitely not of natural causes, to Rachel Slatter at Severn House, for publication in April 2026, by Amy Bishop-Wycisk at Trellis Literary Management
