Love this review from Publishers Weekly about Erin Luken UPDATES ONLY's THIS DARK PARADISE. Out Now!

This lack of books for younger teen boys is one of the reasons my publisher (Bloomsbury) purchased my novel THE SHADOW ROAD, which will be out in only eight days, so while I agree that most publishers have been negligent about serving these readers, some are making an effort.

Halloween is here and I have the perfect #2024Debuts #shelfie for you! 😱 Authors and titles in thread.

2016 broke my heart. 2024 is breaking my humanity

I can’t get over the fact that over half of America just decided to burn the whole thing to the ground as the alternative to giving a Black woman power.
