I finally managed to read through the March/April Ingram Advance, so I'll have big lists (20 books for March, 14 for April) out tomorrow.

Updated my first post. (Sorry Jay, I know I repeated some but for my ease/sanity it was necessary).

One more popped up in my feed for March 3rd.

CW: (view spoiler)[Suicide Attempt; Suicidal ideation (hide spoiler)]
Dead Sea by Mia Kerick.

I read and really enjoyed an advance copy of Fragile Remedy.

Found another

I Think I Love You by Auriane Desombre released March 2nd.

I'd like to post my YA LGBT projects here if that's okay. These books are apart of a series I've called The Fragmented Chronicles which is an Urban Fantasy inspired by my love of fantasy, superheroes, and anime. These ones kind of lean toward the more contemporary side of things currently—although, still quite a bit of fantasy and worldbuilding—but the rest of the series will focus on much more of the fantasy elements. JUDD II will be the start of that and I'm excited to continue its draft after I finish Fragments.

JUDD was released March 5nd.

Fragments is the prequel novella to JUDD, more news to come, but is currently being redrafted.

JUDD II is the official sequel for JUDD and I am currently on pause with the first draft to focus on Fragments, more info to come.

80s memoir coming-out OR staying -in???


My books will resonate with people seeking nostalgia with a working-class edge. These spirited stories of a 70s motherless toddler, an 80s class clown and later, a 90s boy about town are energetic and raw. Journey back to the times of our childhood. Enjoy the prompts, the namechecks and shared memories.
