Trouble the Saints is out!

July 18, 2020 by alaya Leave a Comment

As of Tuesday, July 21st, my first novel in six years, Trouble the Saints, is published and available wherever books are sold! I am so proud of this book and so excited for you to be able to read the product of so much effort and love. Kirkus Reviews has given it a starred review, calling it a “sad, lovely, blood-soaked song of a book.” It comes recommended by N.K. Jemisin and Kelly Link, so don’t take my word for it!

Please support your local bookstores if you can in these difficult times. You can order physical and e-copies from bookshop.org. And if you’d like to see me virtually, hear me talk about the book and read a little, please check out my events schedule! I’ll be doing events throughout the rest of July, August and September, so I hope to virtually meet some of you there!

Love and strength,

Alaya
