Thank you @jamreads.com for the high praise!! 😭💖 I'm so glad it was apparent from the narrative that the two idiots see parts of themselves in the other person, and they're absolutely allergic to that fact lol 😂💖
Jamedi@jamreads.com · 3w agoThe Revenant of Surolifia, by @florencechien.com (pub by Rising Action Publishing) is an excellent self-contained political fantasy which could be summed up as two idiots trying to change the system with totally different methods.

My debut is out in the world today 🥰 To all the friends here who has read an ARC, ordered a copy, requested it at a library: You're not just supporting me, you're also supporting all the creatives who worked on this book, and enabling them to keep doing what they love! revenant.one

I do have the motherfucking time (not really, but I'm making time for it), and I'm doing it myself on my own platform (since Reactor ignored my pitch 🙃). I would have loved to be paid for the work, but at this point it's public service so I'm doing it for free 👇
