My soft sci-fi novella, THE LEGEND LIMINAL, is out today from @starsandsabers.bsky.social! 💫

Climb into the camper van for a surreal roadtrip that slides out of time & reality. TLL is a story about grief, hope, and the shining lifeline of human connection.

Ren holds up a copy of The Legend Liminal, with an empty desert highway in the background. The cover of the book features a camper van driving on a road shaped like an infinity symbol, in front of a vaporwave-style sunset.

Happy Book Birthday to my client @cassnewbould.bsky.social’s YA dystopian, CLIMATE OF CHAOS! Out now from Peachtree Teen!

The Hunger Games for the next generation, it’s a hard-hitting survival story set in a dystopian Seattle that explores the devastating effects of climate change and medical debt.

Happy release day graphic for Cassandra Newbould’s CLIMATE OF CHAOS

“Complex world building…largely conveyed through commendably natural character dialogue…rarely predictable and always engaging…[Fox] firmly establishes herself as the cane-wielding menace disabled readers deserve to see. This stellar series opener is a must-read for dystopian fans old and new.” —Booklist, starred review

“Newbould keeps readers guessing in this well-written future with storms, viruses, and people in safety—and others with none... Fans of James Dashner’s The Maze Runner and Lex Thomas’s Quarantine series will enjoy this adventure... A must-have for teen libraries and lovers of dystopian fiction.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“An exciting, high-stakes story offering relevant social commentary... the fast-paced, well-executed, suspense-driven plot will keep readers entertained.” —Kirkus Reviews

Featured in Paste’s “The YA Dystopia Comeback is Served with a Healthy Dose of Romance”

Featured in Reactor Mag’s “5 Books That Serve Serious Eat-the-Rich Energy”
