i've been doing some queer book fanart to celebrate Pride month! both of these were on my tbr a hell of a long time but i'm actually really glad i read them both now, THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH was very cathartic at this moment and LIGHT FROM UNCOMMON STARS was the energy i needed. happy pride, my friends! read trans books!

#pride month #pride art #illustration #fan art #light from uncommon stars #ryka aoki #the spirit bares its teeth #andrew joseph white #blood cw #queer fiction #i listened to the SINNERS soundtrack on repeat doing the lfus one #also i traced those violins and i'm not afraid to admit it #no one is paying me for this

TOMORROW!!

I can't believe it's almost here. After all these years, I finally get to invite you to Kindred Cove. Where transformation is possible, and nothing is ever lost. You'll come visit, won't you?

Tomorrow night, to celebrate the release of MAKE ME BETTER, I'll be starting off my book tour at Books Inc in San Francisco at Opera Plaza! I'll be in conversation with the one and only @charliejaneanders. Come join us, it's gonna be a blast!!

And if you're in Southern California, Salt Lake City, St Louis, or Des Moines, I'm headed your way... Info and tickets here.

Finally, and I know you've probably heard this before, but I'll say it again: preorders matter SO MUCH. If you're planning to buy this book, you can genuinely give my WHOLE CAREER a boost by ordering it now instead of waiting. Check out Bookshop.org to preorder different formats while supporting independent bookstores!!

See you at Kindred Cove <3
