Trying to promote a new novel on Twitter rn feels like holding a yard sale as the house burns down. But my queer sci-fi YA mystery comes out in FIVE days so here is a reminder to do me a solid and preorder if you haven't yet: quirkbooks.com/preorderstarsh… (and if you have, thanks!❤️)

My book comes out in 2 days. If you need me I'll be LYING ON MY FLOOR BREATHING INTO A PAPER BAG. Also, I'll be at the North Royalton branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library THIS TUESDAY at 7 pm EST. attend.cuyahogalibrary.org/event/8282053
