I have a wonderful bit of good news to share!

I have a new literary agent and am now represented by @keiralekseii.bsky.social of Azantian Literary Agency!

The moment Keir and I connected, I knew she was the perfect person to represent my work. I cannot wait to see where we go from here. 🥰✨

I am always surprised by international lesbian day lol

I'm Makana! I'm a mixed race nonbinary lesbian who writes science fiction full of mixed race nonbinary lesbians! my debut cyberpunk space heist novel HAMMAJANG LUCK is out now, and it's standalone sequel THE OBAKE CODE will be out Feb 17th!

trope graphic for the obake code but oops it's all lesbians. the cover is in the center of the graphic, showing malia, a black woman in a white shirt, black pants, black boots, and her long hair in green dip-dyed locs. she is looking up at a futuristic sky, with skyscrapers with pink and purple windows and a flying car whizzing overhead. the cover is on a background of the lesbian flag in spattered paint. the arrows read "lesbians," "so many lesbians," "butch lesbians," "chapstick lesbians," "femme lesbians," "aro/ace lesbians," "lesbians of color," "indigenous lesbians," "black lesbians," "they/them lesbians," and "he/him lesbians."

I have not one but TWO complete and not-yet-public covers in my inbox for authors with 2026 books and this is almost as bad as having to sit on an announcement after a deal is made (I'm also doing this currently and AUGH!!!)

I'm just STARING at them, head empty, heart full. So gorgeous 😭❤️‍🔥
