In a village where triads rule, joining one is survival. When KayLi discovers she’s a Mythic 9-tailed fox like her missing Ma, hiding it is her best chance of joining a gang. But when turf wars endanger Mythics, KayLi must decide if her loyalties lie with her gang or the Mythics #DVPIT #YA #F #Asian

KayLi’s joy at becoming a rare Mythic—a nine-tailed fox like her missing mother—is squashed when the triad boss she respects starts hunting her. She must untangle the secrets between him and her mother if she’s to survive his hunt, and find her mother. #YA #F #DVPit #OWN

When KayLi manifests as a Mythic 9-tailed fox, she could live in pampered opulence in triad-owned Mythic Sanctuary. But she wants to join the triad, not be their showpiece. When she’s hunted by the triad boss, KayLi must learn his secrets, or end up with the other Mythics in gilded cages #DVPIT #YA

In a village where triads rule, KayLi believes ambition is worth betraying family for. Until her Mythic 9-tailed fox manifests—just like her missing mother. When she learns the triad boss hunts Mythics, KayLi must determine if being part of a powerful gang is more important than family #YA #F #DVPit

My Australian event schedule for MASSIF. A corrected version of my Australian tour graphic, as the previous one had the wrong Robinsons store. It will be Glen Waverley, not Frankston. UK details coming soon. No US tour this year, my apologies. www.allenandunwinblog.com/events/garth...

In a world where triads rule, joining the strongest gang opens doors. Until KayLi learns her triad boss hunts Mythics—like her missing mother. And when KayLi’s own Mythic nine-tailed-fox manifests, she must decide if her own loyalty lies with Mythics or the gang. #YA #F #DVPit

Amanda Helms - Preorder THE UPPER TENTACLE @amandaghelms.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
✨✨✨COVER REVEAL✨✨✨ I'm delighted with my cover design and art by Caroline Teagle Johnson, who nailed the retro, campy vibes I requested for my debut, THE UPPER TENTACLE! TUT publishes 02 09 27 from Union Square &. Co, but preorders are available now! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amand...
On a faded background of a green tentacle on a pink backdrop, the cover for THE UPPER TENTACLE shines in all its pink, green, and red glory! A green tentacle coils upward, and a silhouette of a woman dangles one-handed from its tip. Title THE UPPER TENTACLE, in red, interweaves with the upper portion of the tentacle, and the author's name, also in red, is at the bottom. "February 9, 2027" is above the cover, and "Preorders available" is below it.

Listen, read this. You'll get a spectacular education about the term 'speculative' & a brilliant review of Ex Partum. After, you'll almost definitely want to buy the book, then probs you'll rave about it to your friends, then also you'll call up your nearest studio and ask them to do a miniseries.
