I’m not attending Worldcon this year & everything seems to be a mess but this is so mind-bendingly bad on so many levels that I think it’s worth unpacking while I’m in the no-space of airports

Just finished reading @maddiesmartinez.bsky.social's THE MAIDEN AND HER MONSTER. I enjoyed learning more about Jewish mysticism through her well-crafted fantastical novel. The sapphic romance too was *chef's kiss.* 🤎

🥀 I’M GONNA BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR 🥀

An absolute dream come true to announce my debut adult fantasy, THE MAIDEN AND HER MONSTER, a sapphic reimagining of the Jewish myth of golem, will be published by Tor Books and Tor UK in Fall 2025!
my brain is too small for this
created an entire world for golem. now you're telling me I have to create an entire other world for my next book?!
it's the only right thing to do honestly!
thinking about my girls!!! ❄️

my sapphic reimagining of the jewish myth of golem ft jewish folklore, a cursed forest, and a sapphic monster romance, is such a perfect fall/winter read and it's my dream that one day people will be able to cozy up and read it as the weather turns! <3

not niche as in plot or market but niche as in "this book was inspired by this one event that happened in 350 AD there are like three research papers on"
I hope that one day my author brand is "weird niche historical jewish fantasy books"
my love for you spans all social media platforms
*giggles like a school boy* haha nice
