ONLY THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT in Tehran (!!) shared with permission from a reader. The book is an ode to Iran's youth & queer community then and now. Seeing it in Iran is deeply moving. Read this book and others by Iranians please. The ignorance about Iran is too loud.

Walking through my favorite city in the world signing copies of my first UK book (I'm a debut author again!) was so magical. Thank you Mattie and the whole Little Tiger Books team. The warmest welcome I could've imagined. Also, London has TWO queer bookshops. Your move, other cities.

Brasileiros, se você também está encantado, venha me ver na Bienal da Bahia daqui a duas semanas. Madonna e eu cronometramos nossas programações brasileiras só para vocês fofooooos.

London! Signed copies of ONLY THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT at Gay's The Word, The Common Press, Foyles, Waterstones. Stonewall Award Winner. Lambda Literary Award nominee. Get a copy, won't you?

Big Thanks to Little Tiger for bringing the book to all the UK huns.

ONLY THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT is a Lambda Literary Award nominee in the YA category & a nominee for the Green Mountain Book Award, Vermont’s teen choice award. I'm truly thrilled. Thank you Lambda and Vermont Department of Libraries. Go get a copy of every book in these images!

It's a beautiful Sunday to donate to our campaign to make our short film this summer! If you can't donate, sharing with your friends is so, so helpful and important! indiegogo.com/projects/laven…

I loved discussing my books and Madonna (mostly Madonna) with Dennis Hensley on his fantastic podcast. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Someone needs to moderate a panel with Malinda Lo, Randy Ribay and Abdi Nazemian on the multi generational plots in their novels that also trace the history of marginalized communities and how each generation deals with these legacies of resistance and survival. Someone do that.

BRASILEIROS VEM AÍ

Tonight at 7pm, Dame Judi Dench Time Zone. So grateful for everyone reading the book in the UK. I'll be there on Zoom but really wish I was there in person so I could sneak out to the theater after...

It's not official until Sem Spoiler says it is. It's official then: I have a new book coming out em setembro nos EUA. That's September in the USA for those who don't speak Fofo.

BRASILEIROS VEM AÍ. Todos nós colocamos nossos corações e almas nessas histórias queer!

Really looking forward to this. Very grateful ONLY THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT has a life in the UK thanks to Little Tiger Books and their amazing team.
