Can we end Black history month with a win? I run a publishing imprint focused on creating space for Black and brown authors. Please consider investing $5 or $12 into our work so that we can continue in our efforts to fight for marginalized authors.
I finished reading To Bargain With Mortals by R.A. Basu. Check out my review below!
A book shelf that holds so many books it’s starting to creak. The center shelves hold both the Bindery edition and the Rainbowcrate edition of Cry Voidbringer, as well as the indie edition and the Bindery Arc for Devil of the Deep. Hanging horizontally across the shelves is the favorite of my shelf decor projects, the 3 foot war hammer from which the main character takes her name in Cry Voidbringer.

My Left Unread shelves are filling up nicely! The @rainbowcrate.bsky.social edition of Cry, Voidbringer is GORGEOUS! I am deeply grateful to be a part of @michaellaborn.bsky.social efforts to fight the biases of the Tradpub industry and give us amazing stories from Black and Brown voices!

Did I just drop five pages of commentary? Yes I did. I am looking for about 100 people to join our new community reading experience we’re rolling out, where we explore four books that challenge our view of the world we live in. Here’s a sample of the kind of resources it’ll come with.
This Black history month, instead of making lists & recommending the same books you do every year, invest in bringing more Black writers into the world. Subscribe to my publishing community for $5 or $12 and invest in the work we are doing to champion authors in the margins. We need your help.
A little over a week ago, my ex-wife had a very serious medical emergency and ended up in the hospital, septic. She is home but has a long recovery ahead of her and is going to need some significant help so that she can keep things running while she recovers. Posting links in the comments. Thanks!
Still raising money for ex-wife, for a medical emergency. She’s $300 away from what’s needed URGENTLY. Everything else can sit a while. Dropping payment apps in the comments. If you contribute, you can DM a book you want me to read/review or bookish discourse you want me to weigh in on!
I read Bindery’s entire Spring 2026 season! If you’re trying to decide which ones you’re interested in, here is what I got from them all!
So I finally got a minute to peak at the cover of Buzzard by Inez Ray…I love it. It’s simple yet stylish and the color really jumps out at you. Thanks so much to @michaellaborn.bsky.social and Bindery for the chance to see it just a little early!
Thank you for posting!
Cover of Buzzard by Inez Ray (coming September 22, 2026). The background has shades of bright, vivid yellow with simple illustrations of an eye, target, and lactating nipple. The title is in capital black letters across the top and the author’s name across the bottom. It is simple, yet engaging, with an artistic/Latine touch. Available for pre-order now! Buzzard is a near-future dystopian that follows one of the last Midwives in the United States with the necessary training and experience to perform safe abortions. Which she continues to do for her community long after it has become a federal crime. When she is busted and sent to prison, she discovers a pattern of human rights violations and is forced to decide if she will keep her head down in the hope of one day getting her freedom and being reunited with her sons, or leveraging her medical training in order to advocate for the victims no one else even know exist.
‼️ New Book Alert‼️
Buzzard is a near-future dystopian that confronts readers with the future we are approaching as our reproductive rights are being gutted in our country.
As a member of Left Unread, I couldn’t be more excited that it’s finally available to order!

Cry, Voidbringer is one of those books that will ruin you. Think Broken Earth, Poppy War, Kindred, etc. The kind of book that confronts you with the world you live in and asks you to stop and ask yourself why things are the way they are. You need this book. Trust me.
