Overnight Camping
Lay your head down between
soft blades of grass
and tender mounds of moss
that cushion your body
as you drift off to a land
where everything
is possible
Lay your head down
and look up at the stars
just to remind yourself
you exist
as the world keeps spinning
with

without you

A large percent of our disabled population is getting subpar care and the only way we’re ever truly going to see change is by speaking about and voting for health equity.

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.

![“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”

We’re working on it!
I've heard rumblings of organizing a con on this side of the US to make up for the general lack of HWA-sanctioned horror oppty's. Crypticon exists, but that's so much cosplay. We need a writercentric event, leaning into horror authors/artists. Do you know anyone doing this? I'd help w/that.
