I’m going to make a cute graphic later but the 1st day of Disability Pride Month seems like a good day to announce that my book is now available everywhere for pre-order. 😱‼️😍 It’s a romance novel that also unapologetically calls out ableism—oh, and everyone is disabled. 😌🫶🏻 tinyurl.com/3v2rxwbz

May Nikki Giovanni’s work nourish us forever more. May her spirit rest. Death is so cruel.
