This feels like an extreme version of the environment I’ve experienced in so many nerd spaces (gaming, comics) where women in the space learn to tank enormous amounts of misogyny and abuse because the only way to survive is to prove you’re “one of the guys” or you can “take a joke” or whatever. 😔

I loved exploring more about Charlie & Sam's abilities, the inner workings of the DaRosa family, Ravi's theatrical hopes & dreams, & Charlie's tenuous relationship to the physical world. This book ended up being more personal than I imagined when I started, & I can't wait to share it with you all. 💜

"School's out for summer, but Charlie Ford still has a lot to learn about being a death god. As if being born a death god wasn’t enough, Charlie and their twin Sam have also inherited their great-aunt Eleanor’s New York City brownstone apartment. It wouldn’t be such a burden if Eleanor hadn’t been a death god herself–and the last elder of the House of Snake. Now the other Houses expect the Fords to command the sizeable army of ghosts Eleanor amassed and join their ancient order, though Charlie and Sam would just as soon sell the place and leave before they get in over their heads.

But Charlie can’t pass up a summer in the city where their boyfriend just moved. So they convince Sam to help them renovate the apartment, and in the meantime, they can train under their surly teenage death god allies, Jessie and Jill DaRosa. The DaRosas are part of the formidable House of Scorpion, an order that uses their ghosts to control global politics and hoard resources. Jessie and Jill intend to introduce Charlie and Sam to the cutthroat world of death god Houses—but before they can, the DaRosas’ ghosts go missing.

The elders within House of Scorpion find it awfully suspicious that Charlie and Sam arrived on the scene just before this unprecedented calamity, and they accuse the Ford siblings of stealing their spirits to elevate the fallen House of Snake. To prove their innocence, Charlie and Sam must find the ghosts and return them—or become ghosts themselves.

Though she & I had such different childhoods in most ways, this quote & everything about the way she wrote herself as a child was my first experience reading something & feeling that it could have been written in my own childhood mind. I felt understood in some way I hadn't ever imagined I could be.

This was the quote. 💜😔😢

Person holding the book "An American Childhood" by Annie Dillard, paperback version.

Page of a book with this quote pulled out: “When everything else has gone from my brain—the President's name, the state capitals, the neighborhoods where I lived, and then my own name and what it was on earth I sought, and at length the faces of my friends, and finally the faces of my family—when all this has dissolved, what will be left, I believe, is topology: the dreaming memory of land as it lay this way and that.”

Oh my goodness... this happened and I posted about it, all without having heard that she died two days ago. She is one of the reasons I ever became a writer. Despite how different our work is in nearly every way, her books were a huge influence on me and my voice as an author. I'm devastated. 💔

Oh, hi, here’s a funny story about how yesterday morning on stream, I spent, like, fifteen minutes trying to remember a particular Annie Dillard quote, and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t put together the exact words. If only I’d just… swiveled my chair slightly to the left. 😅😭🙃💀

Photo of a corner desk in a room with a computer monitor, game setups, and lots of books on either side. A chair site in front of the desk.

Closeup of the stack of books just to the left of the chair, which includes several books by Annie Dillard.

What you need to understand is when workers want financial security, that’s entitlement. When bosses want financial security, that’s a god given right. If you think there’s hypocrisy there, then buddy, you just don’t get business, and its inevitable natural laws.

Libraries are great for authors! Libraries pay more for our books, high circulation wears them out so they have to buy them again—AND they’re more likely to buy our next book. Plus, publishers consider library sales when weighing our future contracts. Please check our books out from the library! 📚💜

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

One irony of being a YA author is most interactions we have about our books end up being with adults. I wasn't prepared for how inspiring & HEALING it would feel to talk about I WAS A TEENAGE DEATH GOD with the teens I actually wrote it for. 💜 Thalia Kids Book Club Camp, it was my honor to meet you.

Author M.J. Beasi, a nonbinary person with pink, purple, and blue hair, wearing a t-shirt that says, "Read Trans Books," standing on a stage amidst a group of 12-14-year-olds holding copies of the book, I WAS A TEENAGE DEATH GOD.

An image of an online article from The Sick Times, published on July 10, 2026.
The main headline reads: "Stop telling women their Long COVID is menopause". Below it, the italicized subheadline states: "From friends to medics, women are used to having their health issues dismissed, minimized, or blamed on their hormones."
Below the text is a collage graphic credited to Miles Griffis / The Sick Times. The artwork features a vintage black-and-white photo of a doctor wearing a head mirror, a black-and-white photo of a woman wearing a face mask, and a bright red horizontal band containing silver 3D illustrations of coronavirus spheres.

In 2019, I wrote a book about what growing up nonbinary before I knew what "nonbinary" was felt like to me. On the surface, it was a fast-paced, snarky supernatural adventure, but the real story was about feeling like you’re an aberration that shouldn’t exist & learning to care for yourself anyway.🧵

Its road to publication was long & painful, much like my journey to that understanding I suppose, & though I've since written more mature work, no MC will probably ever be as personal to me as Charlie, whose flaws & idiosyncrasies are so much mine.
