David Bowles Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Since people have praised my translation of THE ROUTE OF ICE AND SALT so much, mentioning how I manage to both render @joseluiszarate's lush prose in English WHILE making it sound like something that Bram Stoker might've written—I've decided to do a queer BIPOC remix of DRACULA.

The cover for THEY CALL HER FREGONA was revealed yesterday. See how awesome the 2 BORDER KID'S POEMS books look side by side?!? FREGONA drops September 6. Check yesterday's interview about the book & the cover (has a preorder link for those interested): http://mrschureads.blogspot.com/2022/02/they-call-her-fregona-by-david-bowles.html https://t.co/VGIp1dN956

@JsanchezTaylor @RomyNGoldberg @silviamg @followthelede @dbhiguera Ah, hello, you did specify that in your original post, sorry. @NestoHogan and @DiscardedDreams have both written genre-bending speculative fiction. And @Gabino_Iglesias's THE DEVIL TAKES YOU HOME defies boundaries as well.

Forget HOUSE OF THE DRAGON ... we need a HOUSE OF ACAMAPICHTLI series (about the dynasty that created the "Aztec Empire" and ruled for a century). I'm writing the books (a series called SCIONS OF EMPIRE), so when you're ready, Hollywood, hit me up.

RECLAIM THE STARS gets a starred review from Kirkus! Among the pieces they single out is my polyamorous love story "The First Day of Us." Super cool! "There is a little something for everyone in this powerful, essential anthology." https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/zoraida-cordova/reclaim-the-stars/ #kirkusreviews

If you haven't read ZARZAMORA by Chicano poet Vincent Cooper, you should rectify that immediately. https://t.co/YtDL5nluQE

Whew. Wrapped up edits to THE PRINCE AND THE COYOTE late last night. My editor (Nick Thomas) really helped me make it a better, more satisfying book ... but the job kicked my ass like an edit hasn't done in a long time! Fellow writers, do y'all have a tough edit story to tell?

I've been working on a side project for a while, and I've decided to release it a chapter a week on @Medium as a serialized project, starting this Sunday. HARKER AND THE COUNT is a queer BIPOC remix / reimagining of Bram Stoker's DRACULA. https://t.co/8r7luayG2Q

@Ikeruga The Fifth Sun by Camilla Townsend is a great book to start with.
