🖤 A debut like no other by @ninawyo In ’86 Wyoming, two sisters kill their uncle—and blame the British. Part murder mystery, part teen confessional, part postcolonial reckoning. On sale Jan 2026. https://t.co/EPBgb0nQIC

It’s 1986. Your sister is your soulmate. Your uncle is dead. And colonialism might be to blame. How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder is not your average coming-of-age novel. https://t.co/cTZiEEKCfc

I very rarely actually tweet. But as an author of color who just signed with @PantheonBooks -- @likaluca was one of the reasons I was so excited. She is a role model in so many senses of the word. So so brokenhearted. đź’”
