Call Me Traitor is the story of a living weapon fighting her way towards personhood and the awful lesbian she’s doing it with. I keep calling it ‘the sapphic Winter Soldier wizards’ book despite being told we can’t put that in the blurb.
So this is the book I have spent the last few years on! I think it’s the best thing I’ve written. I am both nervous and hugely excited. Reblogs massively appreciated if that is your thing, and if you are inclined to preorder, they do help me out a lot with my publisher, but I completely understand that not everyone is in a position to. All interest treasured and appreciated!
(Also: HOW gorgeous is this art! I am unspeakably in love with it! How it captures these two idiots so accurately, and the incredible dawn clouds and the mountain and the sea. I pushed for Eliot Baum for the cover ever since he was among the initial artist suggestions because of the gorgeous way he does characters, and this both showed me that was the right choice and also completely blew me away. Highly recommend the follow: @eliotbaum. I am also a big fan of the title design, which is by Jess Kiley!)
BTW I saw this and immediately thought “what if that’s what Stonehenge was for” and then I looked it up and apparently it’s an actual theory that holds up, they sound like massive dull bells that carry for a few miles.
i love learning a language and recognizing some patterns when listening or reading even though i don’t fully understand most of it. it feels
it feels like having a crush. like i have a parasocial relationship to the language. like. i consider it my friend and feel familiar to it even though i don’t really know it as well as people who actually speak it on their daily lives but i still admire it from afar.
i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

I expected Americans without another discernible cultural background to answer this with regional American dishes im getting taken out by people just saying stuff like “burger” and “mcdonalds”
