Happy Pride! Utibe is one of my favorite characters in The Bone River and I lovee her down.

Morning! I’m really liking this cool Nigerian fantasy The Bone River by @nkereuwxm.bsky.social It has a sapphic magical monster-hunting mercenary that operates between the two worlds of magical warriors and regular people. There’s death magic and river beings and impossible to find occult shops.

Happy Pride! Utibe is one of my favorite characters in The Bone River and I lovee her down.

From queer coming of age novels and surreal literary fiction to collections of short stories and sapphic fantasy, here are some of my favorite queer books by Nigerian authors. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

Shame isn't bad. It's just incorrectly distributed.

Well then! My @sauutiverse.bsky.social novella DESCENT is a finalist for the best novella Ignyte Award! The Ignytes mean a lot to me because of what they represent. Community, care, consideration. 🙏🏾 I'm thrilled to share the spotlight with so many excellent authors (hi again @amalelmohtar.com!)

Congratulations to @wtalabi.com for his Sauútiverse novella, "Descent", published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com, being a finalist in the 2026 @theignyteawards.bsky.social! 🚀💫📚 Read the Full List of Finalists: ignyteawards.fiyahlitmag.com/current-fina...

Done all this without an agent like the unhinged person I am. The Bone River🐍 is (still) a sapphic urban fantasy set in a Calabar where where necromancers, river deities and fire-wielding magicians rule over a supernatural community on the brink of war. I hope you’ll give it a chance.

Happy Pride!!

So honoured to receive this nomination among all the incredible writers!! 🙏🏼

Honored to be recognized!❤️

Based on a series of conversations last week, I'm surprised at how many people don't realize the extent of the damage that the current US administration is causing globally. Of course we are all primarily concerned with issues in front of us but this mess will take years to undo around the world.
