How The Hell Have I Been Here Since 2013

I have various interests that usually don't last long so prepare yourself.

So stoked to present the cover of HEAVENLY TYRANT, the sequel to IRON WIDOW, my sci-fi reimagining of China’s only female emperor!

Heavenly Tyrant is a book about consequences, reactionary pushback, and the price of power - and oh BOY does the symbolism in this cover capture that 😳 All my love to Ashley Mackenzie for once again doing a PHENOMENAL job with the art, including turning my shoddy Yellow Dragon armor sketch into this beauty, to Terri Nimmo for the art direction, and the team at Penguin Teen Canada for listening to what I wanted for the cover!! I know having so much input is a privilege authors rarely have.

More about Heavenly Tyrant:

After suffering devastating loss and making drastic decisions, Zetian finds herself at the seat of power in Huaxia. But her world is not as it seems, and revelations about an enemy more daunting than she imagined forces her to share her power with a dangerous man she can no longer simply remove out of her way. Despite having vastly different ideas than him on what they are to each other and how the world should change, Zetian must join him in a dance of truth and lies and perform their roles to perfection in order to take down their common enemy and get back the loved one she lost.

It will release late 2023 (exact date TBD)

Ok folks. Everybody stay calm. It’s happening. Polls are here.

We’re starting to roll out a polls feature for the post editor across all platforms. Yes, that’s all platforms. That’s iOS, Android, and web. You should all have access to this in the next few days. And what’s more, it’s super easy to use.

  • Simply select the newly added orange poll icon (on web, it appears when you start a new content block in the post editor, on mobile it’s in your toolbar).
  • Write your question.
  • Add at least 2, at most 10 response options for people to choose from. There's a character limit on these, it's about as long as the Puss in Boots option offered above.
  • Set the poll duration to one day or one week. 
  • You can add some commentary to your poll or let it speak for itself. 
  • And, just as with any post, you can toggle who sees the poll by using your community labels. Or you can go wild and blaze it if it meets the content guidelines for blazing. 

Come across a poll in the wild? Have your say! Click on your chosen response. Congratulations, you’ve just voiced an opinion.

And that’s all there is to it. Have fun out there.
