Thank you all so much for your reblogs and likes!

My book, The Scalebearers, is out now! 

And for all of you who wish to support your Independent Bookstore you can find it on IndieBound!

IndieBound will allow you to search which independently owned bookstore sells The Scalebearers near you. With the newest surge in COVID cases, supporting independent retailers as well as you can as safely as you can is important. Here you can find what stores sell my book both online and in store!

You can also find it at major retailers like Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million. Call your local store to see if they have it in stock!

“A refreshingly timely and relatable debut novel about a young woman whose life plans fall apart when she meets her wife. With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls’ trip to Vegas to celebrate. She’s a straight A, work-through-the-summer certified high achiever. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn’t know…until she does exactly that. This one moment of departure from her stern ex-military father’s plans for her life has Grace wondering why she doesn’t feel more fulfilled from completing her degree. Staggering under the weight of her father’s expectations, a struggling job market and feelings of burnout, Grace flees her home in Portland for a summer in New York with the wife she barely knows. In New York, she’s able to ignore all the annoying questions about her future plans and falls hard for her creative and beautiful wife, Yuki Yamamoto. But when reality comes crashing in, Grace must face what she’s been running from all along—the fears that make us human, the family scars that need to heal and the longing for connection, especially when navigating the messiness of adulthood.”

Authors and illustrators can’t survive on Tumblr notes, and supporting great books is how we can encourage great books to be made.

If you’re making or reblogging a post about a great book, ESPECIALLY if you’re including a lot of its content, please add a link encouraging your followers to support it.

And yes, before you reblog: I know a lot of people can’t afford to buy every book. That’s why I will continue to remind you that requesting that book at your library is a 100% legal way to have someone else spend money to buy a copy of that book and into your grubby little hands, and support your local library in the process. But I can’t link you to your personal library in every post, whereas it’s easy to send every person to https://www.indiebound.org and have them enter in the title.
