The Ludlow Massacre was a watershed moment in our state’s history. It was a violent struggle between coal mine workers, big business, and state forces. ⁠ ⁠ Today, as tech giants and other corporations work to erode our rights, we remember this pivotal uprising.⁠
White text on a black background reads:

"112 years ago, the Colorado National Guard and private militiamen attacked striking coal miners and their families. 

They killed 21 people, including 12 children, in the Ludlow Massacre."

"In other words, *The Edge of Space-Time* isn’t just fiery but also fun. There should be something here for you even if your last science class was in that anxiety nightmare you had last week." Delighted by this glowing review in The Boston Globe!

Will this book make you understand space-time? Maybe. Will this book thrill and entertain you? Yes. - The Boston Globe
Unless you’re a physicist — and, statistically speaking, chances are you’re not — a book about the ins and outs of space-time might feel heavy in your hands. Yet it's a fun and exciting read.

‼️ New Book Alert‼️ Buzzard is a near-future dystopian that confronts readers with the future we are approaching as our reproductive rights are being gutted in our country. As a member of Left Unread, I couldn’t be more excited that it’s finally available to order! Links in comments #booksky
Cover of Buzzard by Inez Ray (coming September 22, 2026). The background has shades of bright, vivid yellow with simple illustrations of an eye, target, and lactating nipple. The title is in capital black letters across the top and the author’s name across the bottom. It is simple, yet engaging, with an artistic/Latine touch.

Available for pre-order now!

Buzzard is a near-future dystopian that follows one of the last Midwives in the United States with the necessary training and experience to perform safe abortions. Which she continues to do for her community long after it has become a federal crime. When she is busted and sent to prison, she discovers a pattern of human rights violations and is forced to decide if she will keep her head down in the hope of one day getting her freedom and being reunited with her sons, or leveraging her medical training in order to advocate for the victims no one else even know exist.
