A graphic with text on the top reading "COVER REVEAL" and on the bottom reading "Coming September 22, 2026" with an illustrated book cover with text at the top that reads: award-winning and bestselling author Sonido Reyes. The title at the bottom reads: To Our Untamed Core. A Brown boy stands in front of the title font with his back to the "camera" looking off to the side. There is a hole through his back that has a beam of light shining through it. In the distance is a pyramid with the sun behind its peak, the sunlight shining straight through the hole in the boy's back.
Centuries after the conquistadors claimed the Afueras for their own, Temo spends his life obeying the Holy Order’s decree, undergoing their sacraments to tame his supposedly violent nature. The only rule he breaks: hiding that he’s trans. If that fact is discovered, Temo will face El Torneo, a brutal, fight-to-the-death game pitting the untamed against one another. No Afuereño who enters El Torneo ever escapes with their life. But when Temo’s boyfriend is unexpectedly arrested and thrown into the deadly tournament, he’ll do anything to rescue Ollin from his gruesome fate, even if it means entering El Torneo himself. Only there's far more to this tournament than meets the eye—survival is just the beginning. When the cost of saving the one he loves is higher than he ever imagined, is Temo willing to pay it?

The rumors are true! (and I may or may not have started them 🤭)
To Our Untamed Core is coming September 22 to a bookstore near you. I’m so freaking proud of this book and I hope you all love it as much as I do 💛

I finished the first book and am moving on to the second soon.
Read it if you want beautiful medieval Chinese inspired worldbuilding with weretigers, a bodhisattva, flying lotuses, & slow-burn lesbianism.
Avoid it if you want a quick hit of romance dopamine.
The ending does get a little spicy 1/

I can think of a number of automation of tasks that have left me with more work leisure, tho. The difference between working with physical records and digital records is a lot of time

Hello :3
The cover of Undead Duo #1. It depicts a Black woman, ERA, in a tattered dress, holding a curved blade that resembles an Ethiopian Shotel. Directly behind her is the title, UNDEAD DUO, in all caps, with a red line that looks like a life plus running through the text. A little further behind Era is the wreckage of a red car. At the top is the name of the contributors to this comic: BA Spann (me), Khalid Johnson (artist), Jamesia Bly (styling).
It’s Black Speculative Fiction month, so it’s only right that I have [finally] made issue #1 of my comic, UNDEAD DUO, available to read online for FREE.
Please, give it a read!

whenever a character says “okay but i’m done with straight girls, no more straight girls—” you know she’s about to do something dumb as fuck but understandably motivated by pussy
have you ever seen a woman who gave off such intensely cozy “first generation strawberry shortcake dolls” you could smell the perfume?

Thanks to a recommendation by @danifinnwrites.bsky.social, I downloaded 1000 Lotuses Part 1 Feather Lotus by @lotuscarp.bsky.social. I finished it today. I loved it. This is a story that is going to be in my head for a long time. Now on to Part 2 Seamstress. lotuscarp.itch.io/1000-lotuses...
Make 2026 the Year of 1,000 Lotuses 🪷
I knew tagging you was the right choice to get eyes on this gem 💖💖💖 you’re a marvel
I just learned that the author has a ko-fi where they are raising funds to make print editions of 1000 Lotuses! Those of us who enjoyed the first book for free and have a bit of spare cash might want to consider donating!

it's incredibly silly to pretend that comic books are somehow more "literature" than romance novels or even erotica, be for real.

Happy International Women's Day!
Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it.
