Newest 5 Star Review of "Fate Will Twist the Both of You." Fate Will Twist the Both of You: 1998: Sportswriter, Kate Donnelly, has just taken a new job at an entertainment-focused New York-based magazine. Before leaving on her first assignment, she is invited to a party at a family friend's house. She suspects it is set up because her dad's friend's son, Darius, will be back in town after performing on Broadway. She isn't interested in getting involved with anyone. She already endured a horrific breakup a couple of years ago that she wasn't willing to repeat. A twist: Kate learns while on her first assignment that Darius is someone that her boss desperately wants to interview for the magazine. Kate undertakes the task of trying to obtain an exclusive interview. Upon meeting Darius, she sees what's the appeal. He's attractive both inside and out. But she's on a mission but she soon finds out Darius is on a mission of his own: her. She resists him for as long as she can. LINK in BIO Available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day🦌 I’m a proud Seneca-Cayuga native woman, so I thought I would use today to share a #nativeauthor who wrote a spooky story perfect for this time of year. #theonlygoodindians by #stephengrahamjones is a beautifully creepy book that reaches deep into native lore. I got pulled in goosebumps and tingly hairs on the back of my neck ‘n’ all and didn’t want to stop listening. #readthisbook It’s sooooooooo worth it. #bookstagram #bookgeek #indigenousauthors #bookworm #spookybooks #booknerd #readersofinstagram #bookish #indigenouspeoplesday #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookaholicsanonymous #bibliotherapy #readmorebooks #reading #books #horrorbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQ7xqcgdzk/?igshid=s03m7elfhnk8

Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day and a day to once again recommend this astounding Young Adult novel soon to be turned into a movie by the Obamas.

Ever since I was a child, I've been fascinated by Native American culture. Being a mixed race (Coloured) kid from and growing up in Zimbabwe, finding my slippery culture and identity in books seemed impossible, so this could be why I so resonated with Indigenous stories.

As an adult I've come to realise how stereotyped and racist so many depictions of Native Americans were. When I found out about this book written by Ojibwe author Angeline Boulley last year from @weneeddiversebooks I knew this was what I was seeking.

The Firekeeper's Daughter

Trigger Warning: meth drug use, sexual assault, murder, racism

Angeline is an incredible, contemporary storyteller. She has written a YA crime drama set in a real place and told from the perspective of a character that straddles two identities. Yet, her main character is so certain and strong in her connection to her tribe that as an outsider, I am welcomed right in, with no undue ceremony, to become emmersed in a culture, language and community that she is proud of. So many characters, yet I felt I knew and could hear all of them - the whole town of Sault St. Marie and Sugar Island!

The language! Anishinaabemowin is interlaced so simply in the story that I understood it so easily. What a gift!

This Indigenous Nancy Drew, as Angeline calls her, is so riveting a character, so capable at every point in the twisty depths of what she uncovers, that she is able to deal with important issues of the complicated policing and justice that Indigenous people face amidst complicated family dynamics.

Eighteen year old Daunis is the friend we all wish would have our back. She navigates heavy situations with such intelligence and grace. I have never rooted for a heroine more.

T/W Indigenous women going missing, sexually assaulted & murdered.

The state of children returned after being kidnapped and raised in boarding schools.

POWER OF THE STORM by Marino Moore. PURCHASE BOOK on Amazon. ✨ 🌙 📖POWER OF THE STORM - INDIGENOUS VOICES, VISIONS, AND DETERMINATION: DEDICATED TO JOHN TRUDELL An anthology of sixty-five contributors (from various Indigenous Nations) who share their creations in order to educate those who are interested in the history and modern day activism of the Indigenous People of North America. Some of the contributors have been writing and producing art for several years, whereas about 25% - the youngest of whom is nine years old - are making a publishing debut. By being included in this groundbreaking anthology, all contributors are offered encouragement to keep expressing themselves to keep their cultures alive, as well as write from their own perspective instead of being “written about.” To remind the world that Indigenous voices, visions, and determination do indeed matter. A quote from one of the contributors:“For many people, especially those of us touched, inspired, and influenced over the course of our lives through the bravery, music, and words of John Trudell (Lakota, 1946-2015) the surrender of our voices nor our Indigenous world view, which we sometimes still have to fight with every cell of our beings to keep alive, is not an option. No more than surrendering our Mother Earth. Power of the Storm affirms this. MariJo Moore, with her courage of spiritual and physical commitment, is presenting that determination, that appreciation to the world and to Creation.” #nativeamerican #indigenous #books #amazon #nativeartwork #indigenousartists #goodreads #johntrudell #johntrudellpoetry #artinbooks #collaboration #nativeauthors #mmiw #supportnativeartists #paperback (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvTeiXF8mF/?igshid=13j7ne18bmpk3

I know I’ve missed a few days of #riotgrams prompts, but I couldn’t miss a chance to rep some of these books (again.) Even if I’ve already talked about a few of these books dozens of times — like Jonny Appleseed (all the feels for NDN glitter princess and cybersex worker Jonny!), and Sanaaq (first novel written in Inuttitut!) and probably Trail of Lightning (post-apocalyptic indigenous mythological monster killing). Then there’s those I may not have said much about before — like Louise Erdrich’s literary fiction (which, I mean, Erdrich is practically an institution unto herself, if you haven’t read her yet, it’s time to rectify that), and Daniel H. Wilson (more post-apocalypse, but with robots this time), and then Heid E. Erdrich’s multimedia poetry. . . #nativeauthors #indigenousauthors #jonnyappleseed #joshuawhitehead #trailoflightning #rebeccaroanhorse #sanaaq #mitiarjuknappaaluk #heideerdrich #curatorofephemera #danielhwilson #robogenesis #louiseerdrich #tracks #lovemedicine #michiganstateuniversitypress #universityofmanitobapress #arsenalpulppress https://www.instagram.com/p/Botn9J_lxVw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5wjojy7o98uz

Writer's Block just... sucks. I have ideas, then I get distracted or pulled away because I someone needs me. Then it takes so much time to get back where I was. Still working on Book 3 but to keep things from getting stagnant, I have a Book 4 WIP, too. That one comes in bits and pieces. With going back to school in August for my Master's degree, I will have less time to write. It'll all be good. I have faith everything will work out in the end. . . #authorsofinstagram #aspiringauthor #romancenovels #novelist #authorsofig #Muscogeeauthor #nativeauthor #okieauthor #okie #oklahomaauthor #writing #writingisart #writingcommunity #indieauthor #selfpublished (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgkWqL8AES-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Up next for #nonfictionnovember is #heartberriesamemoir by #teresemariemailhot I was a little scared to read this one because I grew up with a bipolar mother and am still dealing with my emotions around that, but I’m glad I pushed passed the fear and gave this one a go. Don’t get me wrong it was hard to read. It isn’t easy to watch shame unfold especially when you’re working on your own shame issues, but it was healing, uplifting and made me feel seen in how she was able to put into words a lot of the thoughts I’ve had myself. This memoir is short, but powerful. #readthisbook #bookstagram #nativeamericanheritagemonth #bookgeek #nativestories #bookworm #readersofinstagram #booknerd #audiobookstagram #bookish #memoir #bibliophile #audiobooks #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookaholicsanonymous #bibliotherapy #librarybooks #bipocauthors #nativeauthors #bipocnonfiction #readmorebooks #reading #books #nonfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVr2CIAJ5K/?igshid=1t3q2s1e8q5qm

Two chapters written for Book #3 I always have my husband to bounce ideas off of. Admittedly, he hated the initial pitch. It was too traumatic and problematic. Broke my heart because I started writing and I have shelved the half written chapter. I reworked the outline for book 3 and I got the green light. I will be excited to share this one when it is ready. . . #writing #wordcount #newnovel #indieauthor #indie #indiepublishing #support #newreleasesoon #explore #writingcommunity #chapterbook #book #novel #bookish #bookishlove #brokenarrowauthor #okieauthor #tulsaauthor #nativeauthor (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCkZA6AYJu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
