Happy book birthday to TO OUR UNTAMED CORE by @sonidoreyes!!!

🔥A brutal dystopian novel that's The Hunger Games meets The Sunbearer Trials
🔥Temo spends his life obeying the Holy Order’s decree, but the only rule he breaks—hiding that he’s trans. If discovered, Temo will face El Torneo, a brutal, fight-to-the-death game.
🔥When Temo’s boyfriend is arrested and thrown into the deadly tournament, he’ll do anything to rescue Ollin.
🔥Only there is more to the tournament than meets the eye, and Temo will have to decide if he's willing to risk everything to save who he loves. by @versifybooks

Nabi H. Ali and I are officially celebrating our #BookBirthday today!

A RAKHI FOR RAKESH: A Story of Brotherly and Sisterly Love is officially out into the world.

This story started as a seed of an idea in 2016. It became a polished manuscript in 2017. I received an offer in 2018 at the same time I was in the process of getting agented! I lost the deal. I was crushed. @ammi.joan.paquette assured me we would find this story a home. Many revisions and subs later, in 2021, @HarperCollins @versifybooks gave us a home.

I can't thank #TeamRakhi enough, my editors authorelizabethagyemang and @lueditsbooks for bringing this slice of life story to live. I so appreciate the #booklove.

Sending a special shoutout to my family, friends, and critique partners who supported this book's journey!

*Scroll for my July Events Calendar.

*Order 'signed copies' from my local indie: https://bit.ly/ThirdPlaceBooksRakhi

*Drop some love in the comments. Today's a very emotional day for me!
