Thrilled that @alwurzbacher's debut HOW TO CARE FOR A HUMAN GIRL is out from @AtriaBooks today-- a sharply entertaining and beautiful novel about sisterhood and grief and the complexity of choice. This novel has made me laugh & cry many times; I adore it simonandschuster.com/books/H…

Couldn’t be more excited that this news is out! ✨ I fell in love with The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye in an INSTANT and have loved every second of working with @_BrionyCameron on this epic, dazzling adventure, which will be published by @AtriaBooks & @PiatkusBooks next summer!
✨I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!✨ My debut centres a queer biracial woman in the colonial West Indies and her journey from shipwright to pirate captain. If you love women, pirates, swashbuckling, found family, female rage and tender-hearted men, then I have a book for you!
