So, of course I was thrilled that our first Dinsdale Press publication brought home a nomination. I squeed all over social media and to SF

I bought this book when it came out, but my life got in my way! I picked it up again recently and remembered why I love it. Even though this story is fantastical, Zee is still so relatable to this neurodivergent reader. I understand hyper-empathy and ...more

I loved Earthbound, and Skysworn made me feel so many things! I even shouted them out loud while reading, which started my husband. Oops. But it’s such a great and wild ride and such a satisfying conclusion to this duology. Such a fan of this author!

Cait’s Quotes

“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”
― Alan Wilson Watts
