Happy New Year, everyone! As it's now 2025, I can officially say: It's THE ASHFIRE KING's release year! 🥺🎉 This sequel is by far the most difficult thing I've ever written and I am *so* excited to finally share it this April. I might just cry when I see it on the shelves next to Book 1.

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was: 1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one 2 preorders: we need to stock this book 3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out 4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!

I got a ton of new followers, so let me introduce myself to #BookSky! I'm Kamilah Cole, I'm 34, and I'm the author of SO LET THEM BURN, THIS ENDS IN EMBERS, and AN ARCANE INHERITANCE, the latter two coming out in 2025. I'm a demi-bi Jamaican-American Aries who loves games, memes, and pop culture 💃🏿

Hi everyone! I’m Chelsea Abdullah, author of THE STARDUST THIEF, an Arab-inspired epic fantasy that’s a love letter to oral storytelling & to the tales I grew up with as an American-Kuwaiti writer. My sequel, THE ASHFIRE KING, is out Apr 15, 2025. I’m working on Book #3. It’s great to be here! 💫

Hi, let’s be friends! 🥺🩷 I'm Bailey! I write YA dark fantasy, but I'm a Powerhouse of Positivity 💖✨ I have a rare disease that creates tumors in my organs. I've had 78 surgeries, two decades of chemo, and I removed a lung at 15! I love connecting with fellow queer and disabled writers!
