Happy EXTRAORDINARY QUESTS release day!! Kieran, my favorite hapless hero, is your problem now 💙

And also!! For my Boston folks, the launch event is tomorrow at Porter Square Books in Cambridge at 7pm, so please do come out and celebrate!

There’s still time to pre-order EXTRAORDINARY QUESTS before it comes out ✨tomorrow✨!! If you’re looking for a cozy, kind, and very gay fantasy world to escape into for 400ish pages, I cannot recommend this one enough.

maturing is realizing jennifer was the real victim. being groomed by an older man & then sacrificed to the devil by men in a shitty band in exchange for fame. eating men was so justifiable.
