Hi #booksky

Gonna be vulnerable for a moment—I'm losing a big chunk of income because things are rough for indie bookstores right now. I'll be depending on my royalties while I look for more work.

My new book is an atmospheric FFF+ gothic fantasy.

You can support me at shop.tamarajeree.com
A photo of THE FLOWERS I DESERVE surrounded by red carnation blooms. A gothic book cover illustrated by Elaine Ho with typography by Cass at Opulent Designs. A regal Black woman gazes at the viewer. She is larger than life, towering head and shoulders above a dark castle. Her white horns are twined with flowering vines, and her red braids flow over the castle, hair transforming to a pool of blood at the foundation. She holds a white magnolia bloom. The title The Flowers I Deserve is set against the red in a sharp white serif font.

218 New Books by Black Authors Coming Out Soon. Marketing & PR support from publishers is less than it used to be, and most of these authors won't even get *that* level of support from their publisher. So if you see a book you like, support the author by preordering/purchasing.

So excited to share the cover for Hazel’s Best Day! About a little girl with cerebral palsy navigating her neighborhood and sharing all the ways communities can be made safer and more accessible to people with disabilities. So incredibly proud of this one!

Can’t wait for yall to meet Hazel!
Illustrated book cover titled Hazel’s Best Day: A Story of Community, Accessibility, and Pride in Being Yourself. It shows a joyful parade scene with Hazel, a young Black girl with cerebral palsy, smiling and leading the group in her wheelchair. She wears a colorful outfit and waves a disability pride flag. Around her are diverse people, including others with visible disabilities,such as a person using a wheelchair, a man with forearm crutches, and a service dog. Bright buildings, trees, and festive decorations line the street. Written by Adiba Nelson. Illustrated by DeAnn Wiley.
