All right. It's time. I'm officially closing this account. There have been some great moments but I'm not here to support Apartheid Clyde in his next bid for supervillainy. Find me on Instagram (same handle) or my Substack (link in bio). Much love to all.

Watch @alayadj, author of The Summer Prince, read an excerpt from THE LIBRARY OF BROKEN WORLDS, a kaleidoscopic, thought-provoking tale of oppression and the cost of peace. https://t.co/cUgMR25R9y

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

Online platforms come and go, but the singular @alayadj is only the @ClarionUCSD Week 2 instructor for a brief time—and you don't want to miss the chance to see her read this Wednesday, July 5, at @MystGalaxyBooks!

@jennbrissett He really does!

[Alaya Dawn Johnson @alayadj]

I just saw a review of The Library of Broken Worlds that called it High Science Fiction, because why not, High Fantasy is a thing, and...I love this idea. What else is High SF? Elegance, big ideas, sweeping interstellar backgrounds? Definitely The Left Hand of Darkness...

This epic tale of oppression and the cost of peace - #TheLibraryofBrokenWorlds by @alayadj where stories hide within other stories, and narrative has the power to heal… or to burn everything in its path.

'#TroubletheSaints (@alayadj) is just plain gorgeous. It is gritty and violent and achingly real, but stitched through with fantasy....how nice to be drawn into a story so bursting at the seams with love in all its beauty and terror.'
