Sometimes, the fact that I've been blessed to add to the canon of one of my favorite games just sneaks up on me and blows my mind.

FOR THE HORDE.

I write books about queer Black girls, if you're into that sort of thing.

The dedication from Escaping Mr. Rochester that reads “To the Black girls determined to live how they want and love who they want, you are the blueprint.“ Multiple covers of books. There’s A BLADE SO BLACK, A DREAM SO DARK, and A CROWN SO CURSED. Each cover features the same Black girl holding an array of weapons and striking various poses. There is a playing card theme across the three, with a Spade, Club, and Heart centered behind her on each cover respectively. The cover for ESCAPING MR. ROCHESTER features an illustration by Hillary D. Wilson of two Black women in Victorian era dresses holding hands and standing amidst smoldering embers beneath a full moon. The cover for Nubia: Real One features an illustration by Robyn Smith that has Nubia seated on a neighborhood stoop with her hands clasped between her knees. She’s wearing a t-shirt with the Wonder Woman logo on it, the iconic wrist bands, and stars on her nails. She tilts her head looking confident. The cover for SPLINTERED MAGIC A wreath of sheet music, film rolls, and New York buildings twinkle with magic and form the shape of a mirror. The title and a willow tree are centered.
