Tracy & I have a book out on May 13th. It’s a middle grade mystery called: THEIR JUST DESSERTS. I don’t need to tell you all the state of publishing for two BIPOC authors right now, you can imagine the sort of effort we’re getting. Could you please buy it? Here’s a link: bookshop.org/p/books/thei...

Yall 🥺 My debut novel, THESE VILE HEARTS, (and sequel!) is going to be published by Putnam of PRH and I am 🤯 about this. Definitely made a deal with a dryad to land my brilliant editor, Daphne Durham, and rockstar agents @stutitelidevara.bsky.social and @petejknapp.bsky.social
Are you looking for an Audible alternative but not fully convinced yet on moving away? What if we told you all of your purchases support indie bookshops? Or that we are employee-owned and community driven? Let us know what questions you have about Libro.fm—we'd love to help make the switch easy 💓
HERE IT IS! BROKEN DOLLS COMING SEPTEMBER 2025 That quote had me in literal tears. Share and you're in the drawing for copies of all three books.
FYI if there are any Canadian teachers/librarians/parents of middle graders who would like a copy of Bitterfly Bay, I have an extra hardcover I'd like to send to someone <3
It’s Black History Month and Ramadan is expected to start on/near February 28th, so this is the perfect time to pick up a copy of YOU TRULY ASSUMED + support a Black Muslim author✨ Grab a copy here: lailasabreen.com/yta
Black History is American History.
I am so SO excited to announce the ✨two✨mentees 👀 I’ve selected for this round of #roundtablementor!! Elise Blaauw and @goodsamiratan.bsky.social !! Both of their amazing middle grade manuscripts captured my heart and I CANNOT WAIT to dig into revisions!!
