Preorder Feather and Flame for Swag!
My new novel Feather and Flame launches 11/30/2021, and I'm thrilled at the early reception. The early reviews for the book have been great and here are some of my favorites. “Stays true to the Disney canon while adding depth and maturity.” —Kirkus Reviews “Yes, yes, YES.

This was a celebration of femininity, loyalty, and the importance of believing in yourself. It held true to the messages…

COVID holidays are still going strong in the Blackburne household. Our tiny Christmas tree is still up, though the presents have been opened and scattered around the house.

There was talk of getting a motel room instead of staying with family. There was talk of outdoor…

I Dream of Popo Preorder Special
I'm excited to announce that the launch date for I DREAM OF POPO is coming quickly. The early critical reception has been really fantastic. Publisher's Weekly and Kirkus magazine have both given it starred reviews. This is what they say: “A richly nuanced narrative that illuminates the interstices of one family’s diasporic experience.” —Publisher’s Weekly, starred review. “Sympathetic, gentle treatments of aging and illness convey life’s inevitabilities with a loving imagination steeped in the scent of sweet osmanthus. . . Readers will connect with this visual story on various levels or learn something new; possibly both.” —Kirkus, starred review. Several months ago, I asked if folks would be interested in a preorder…
