It was a treat to see CONJURE ISLAND on a table at the front of Barnes & Noble in the US. If you or your kid wants an adventure where a girl from "up North" learns about her ancestry by staying at her grandmother's #Southern #hoodoo magic school for the summer, grab a copy! #Blacksky #booksky 📚

Yes! Kai Ashanti Wilson’s work influenced me on many levels. And the incomparable @tananarivedue.bsky.social is one of the reasons I write. When I think of others like @edenroyce.bsky.social also writing in this genre, I’m happy #sinners is giving Black Southern Gothic horror the light it deserves

TorDotCom posted the cover so I'm sharing a bit about Psychopomp & Circumstance. When word arrives her estranged aunt has passed, Phee accepts the role of pomp—the highly honored duty of planning the funeral. Visions & shadows beckon, showing Phee some secrets transcend life & death.⁣ 10.21.25
