growing up, i dreamed of seeing people who looked like me in the books i loved.
now i get to share the cover for my sapphic vampire book set during the harlem renaissance!
it’s black, it’s queer, and it’s vengeful.

i love second chance romance so much. not with bitter exes or hate to love, but with people who were still very much in love, but were forced to separate. the angst of always loving this person, but not being able to be with them, and never being able to fall out of love—

i feel like with all the awful, traumatic things these characters go through, we should see them having breakdowns and being so exhausted they have to sit down and cry a bit! i love a scene like that because it humanizes them and it makes the stakes feel more real

my book centers queer Black girls and shines light on the ignored & lost parts of Black history. it’s so sapphic and emotional and perfect for fans of vampires, female rage, and love stories that transcend death itself🪷

if i was in a romance book and my love interest offered me thousands of dollars to help me out of a hard situation, i would take it. idk why these protagonists always refuse the money like damn if you don’t want it, i’ll take it!

i love a romance book where the mc is a workaholic and perfectionist and doesn’t know how to take care of themselves, and the love interest brings them lunch and comes into their place of work to spend time with them and make sure they’re not working themself into the ground

writing a fantasy book where the main female character is so unhinged and vengeful, has insane powers and doesn't limit them. she gives in to almost every moment she feels rage, or is upset about something and just goes feral and takes it out on everyone and everything

adding political intrigue to a fantasy book sounds fun until you're having to make spreadsheets of all the different kingdoms and enemies and subplots and betrayals going on because you have 4 POV characters and their enemies have enemies so you have to keep track of them and--

hey if you’re white and a book by a POC makes you uncomfortable bc it forces you to confront your ignorance, you should probably sit with that discomfort and learn from it, rather than villainize that BIPOC author

not everyone has the privilege of knowing their ancestors or where they came from, so telling BIPOC they should write about their original cultures and decenter the colonizer and western gaze is not always helpful. stay inclusive and let BIPOC tell stories however they want!

well let’s make some sapphic romcoms then!
Kate Hudson says “it’s hard to get male movie stars to make rom-coms.”
“That’s a big part of the equation…is to have that event [feeling for a rom-com]. If we can get more Marvel guys like…hey, come to do a rom-com! That’s part of the formula, too."

“I do not know if I believe in God,” Carmilla said. “Because it means he created a creature like me, only to condemn me to Hell from the start.” I knew not if she referred to being a vampire or her habit of kissing women.

people who question black people existing in fantasy worlds are racists who do not envision a future/world where black people exist freely—especially when they argue that they’re only asking because they’re concerned with “escapism”
