I remember when I would write stories in high school, then print and bind them into paperback copies. These were never actually published, as I just wanted a copy for myself. Over a decade later, my story is now being printed and turned into a real book 🌻

@km_fajardo's LOCAL HEAVENS is one of Kobo's picks for best Science Fiction books of 2025!

i do think it’s nice that the hockey romance books may be bringing in new demographics and new fans. it’s still a net positive but don’t put anyone you dont know on a pedestal 😭

the prevalence of HOCKEY romance specifically is so interesting to me as a canadian bc hockey culture is so Infamously Toxic that the idea of making a hockey boy the star of a romance book is basically speculative fiction to me. i respect it though

Love to see @km_fajardo's LOCAL HEAVENS on this roundup of Great Cyberpunk Novels in the NYT!
