All I Know Is That We Have To Be Kind

My fantasy novel, Hopefinder, is currently available for preorder through my own local bookstore, Curious Iguana, at a discount! Check it out here:

I made a playlist for Hopefinder! Some notes on the songs I chose for it:

You Can’t Kill Us - This song captures a lot of Meric’s resiliency in the face of what they’re struggling with. In particular the first verse of the song goes absolutely raw, both in general and in terms of how it relates to the story.

Sunrise - Trigger warning on this one for lyrics alluding to self-harm, suicidal ideation, and grief. That said, this song similarly conveys some of the vibes of Meric’s healing journey. The quote at the end of the song has the feel of what I want the group of Hopefinders as a whole to feel like.

The Stolen Child - It feels like this could be the song playing during the climax of the novel. I love the way it slowly builds up over time, and the amount of emotions in the string instruments. No lyrics here, just vibes.

Hopefinder is a fantasy novel about a group of pacifist humanitarians trying to help protect a small town from an oncoming military invasion. It features a non-binary protagonist, and centers on themes around healing from trauma, human resiliency, and unconditional love. It combines influences from The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson, Quaker spirituality, and Internal Family Systems theory.
