March 2022: Wingbearer is out! In its first couple weeks it has hit the Indie Bestseller list, the Publisher’s Weekly Bestseller list, and has received some lovely reviews. It’s also Barnes & Noble’s Young Reader pick of the month. You can check out some of my interviews here with We Need Diverse Books and Subjectify.
