immigration is good, actually.

Since it’s the final day of pride month, I hope y’all don’t mind if I throw in my debut duology for your consideration in supporting queer books. Featuring: - princess/peasant sapphic romance - magic school for witches & familiars - fake dating/courtship - prophesised war - ride-or-die friend group

Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, is celebrated every June 19th to acknowledge the unrelenting African American spirit and pay tribute to the contributions that have enriched us. It is a day, a week, and sometimes an entire month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics, and family gatherings.

It’s finally here! The stunning cover to DAUGHTER OF THE CURSED KINGDOM, sequel to my sapphic, queernormative, YA fantasy debut DAUGHTER OF THE BONE FOREST! I hope y’all enjoy Shaw’s story just as much as you enjoyed Rosy’s. 🐺⚔️ Pre-order today and add to your Goodreads or Storygraph. Out 2/24/26!

I think most of who have worked in writing or entertainment know that piracy is a fact of life, and has been for a long time now. But there’s a difference between a broke student downloading a PDF of your book, and a multibillion dollar company stealing your work for its own bullshit purposes.

It is never too late. People who say “this is lost” or “no more elections” or “he will have a third term” or or or are not people you should pay attention to. Fights are happening and won every day. Nothing is lost yet until it’s over. And it is far from over. But if you have given up? Step aside.

Y'all. @unitedwedream.org is actively recruiting people to do Know Your Rights trainings, and so are many of the local immigrant advocacy groups near you. You can help make a difference!

Goddamn it. Epic the Musical is really good. Thanks @jasmineintheskye.bsky.social for getting me obsessed with something to be really obnoxious about...again.

My 2024 Wrapped!

The best thing you can do for an author is to request their book from your library. The library will usually get it for you! The author will get an immediate sale, and libraries will know there is a demand for their future books! Just google your library name plus "book request" or walk in and ask

Hi Bluesky! I suppose I should introduce myself. I’m Jasmine Skye, author of fantastical queer stories. My debut DAUGHTER OF THE BONE FOREST came out this year with Feiwel & Friends. Outside of posting about books, I’m also a recreational competitive figure skater, cosplayer, and all-around geek.
