THE LAMPLIGHTER by @CJBell_Writes received a starred review from @PublishersWkly! 🌟

“Bell valiantly braids edge-of-the-seat plotting, moody imagery, and evocatively rendered characters into unsettling knots. . . .”

THE LAMPLIGHTER releases May 21! 🖤

I'm still in shock and so honored to be a finalist on this list among all these talented queer authors. THANK YOU @LambdaLiterary !!!

Folks! It's my book birthday. I can hardly believe it. My contemporary YA debut STRONG LIKE YOU is out in the world now!

Loved this review!

"If you’re someone who gets hung up on the YA tag, push “Pause” on that for 224 pages. This is a book that deserves a fair shake and many, many readers—Simpson’s debut is as strong as Walker hopes to be."
