If you’re looking for a book to pick up for #IndieBookstoreDay, I’m reading @CiannonS’s WITCHES STEEPED IN GOLD (Jamaica-inspired YA fantasy) and loving it! https://t.co/i4KYuvVwo9 https://t.co/VpOQhOiCl4

Thomas uses evocative detail and immersive description to explore slavery in Canada... Thomas’s work is a testament to the power of story and a veneration of those whose tales are often forgotten in mainstream media.

Check out the beautiful cover of this upcoming antho, FIT FOR THE GODS! It features retellings of Greek myths from some amazing authors (you can read one at the link), and my Hades/Persephone-inspired SFF story "Stasis (Bastion in the Spring)"! https://t.co/oQ1wUgcItk

Two books from my ARC pile that I'm reading and loving are THIS POISON HEART by @KalynnBayron (out June 29) and THE CALYX CHARM by @maidensblade (out July 13). Queer fantasy (YA and adult)! Magic! Romance! Add them to your TBR lists if you haven't yet. https://t.co/BCTLlRjypL

Anyone who's watched an interview with me has likely heard the story of how I picked up The Shining when I was 7 and have been a Stephen King fan since then. Waking up now, at 40, to see that he's read and recommended my book is making my brain short circuit. 😭🤯🥰 https://t.co/QL043In4SC

Slocumb is a composer and conductor, and those skills translate well to his mystery writing — his mastery of pacing and tempo and his natural sense of when to soothe the audience and when to jolt them out of their seats are on full display.

Honored to have reviewed "In the Upper Country" by Kai Thomas, "Moonrise Over New Jessup" by Jamila Minnicks, and "Wade in the Water" by Nyani Nkrumah, each of which delves into enlightening and compelling aspects of the Black American/Canadian experience. https://t.co/Ep7ZRNYxuo
