rachelmanija and sartorias's post-apocalyptic and fun novel Stranger is out.I read over my then twelve-or-so-year-old son's shoulder when he was beta reading this--it has an excellent ensemble cast and an exciting plot, that much I could tell even over the shoulder. But there's so much I missed and so much that's new in this, the final version.
I can't wait to encounter the illusion-casting rabbits and the telekinetic squirrels. Superpowers aren't just for humans anymore!

, is finally out! It's the "Yes Gay YA" book. But you could just as easily call it "The one with the telekinetic squirrels," or "The X-Men in the post-apocalyptic Wild West," or "The one where the sheriff is super-strong, the doctor can speed up time, and the plant life is out to get you."
Kirkus gave it a starred review, calling it " afirst-rate page turner that leaves its own compelling afterimage."
Other points of possible interest: Psychic powers. Luscious food descriptions. Detailed world-building. Hurt-comfort- lots of hurt-comfort. Thrilling battle sequences. Cute animals. Killer crystal trees. Romance in every configuration: gay, straight, lesbian, and poly. Illusion-casting rabbits. Flying cats. And, of course, telekinetic squirrels.
It had a publicity budget of literally $0, so anything you feel like doing to spread the word would be great.
On Kindle: Stranger
Barnes and Noble.
