Want to know more about BURN THE SEA? It's a historical fantasy based on one of India’s fiercest queens, whose battle against colonizing monsters and tangled politics tests the bounds of grief, power, and social expectations.

It's being released on 4/21/26!

Please join me in SCREAMING about this incredible artwork from @musethe.bsky.social! I cannot thank Rosario enough for capturing Matanta & Abbakka in the opening scene of BURN THE SEA so perfectly. The dynamic between the 2 of them was so much fun to write, & Matanta is one of my favorite characters

Alright. Today is my birthday (and tbh it has sucked so far). But. I promised a thread of books by friends. And I am going to make good on that.

Please consider buying books from friends today. Thread below. Storefronts may vary. I'm just linking where I know the books are.

Just watch a pair of coaches completely melt down at the ref during a U10 soccer game. Yes, U10 is for 10 and under. But they were very upset that their *super meaningful* point in this *wildly important* league for *undeniable future superstars* didn't count.

It was absurd.
