So preorders are one of the best ways you can help an author! They signal interest to the bookstore and the publisher! Now is frankly an especially great time to preorder a lot of queer & diverse books, to signal that there's still a market despite bans! It's a way you can help plus you get BOOKS

I was absolutely thrilled to get this ARC of Love Galaxy, by @sierrabranham.bsky.social , set at a galactic reality TV love competition with a sapphic forbidden romance twist! Thanks to @transworldbooks.bsky.social for my copy. 💕 www.goodreads.com/book/show/239881885-love-galaxy #romancelandia

The front cover of the paperback advance reading copy of Love Galaxy shows whirls of neon color in outer space along with two floating women reaching their hands out to each other. The text reads: Tonight, on Love Galaxy, a hot new bombshell enters the cosmos!

The back cover reads: Are you ready to find the greatest love in the galaxy? A reality dating show goes intergalactic in this genre-blending sci-fi romance novel for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Hannah Nicole Maehrer.
Trash collector Temmi never expected to land a spot on Love Galaxy, the wildly popular dating show starring the brother and sister heirs to the galactic empire: twenty-four contestants. Two imperial heirs. One chance for Temmi to change her life.
Hang on - Temmi, babes, you're supposed to be wooing the prince, not falling for his sister!
Temmi may have been hand-picked to date the quiet, bookish prince, but she can't seem to keep away from Princess Spie. She's entirely off limits, but their magnetic chemistry is undeniable.
OK, plot twist! But all's fair in love and revolution, right?
When contestants start turning up dead and whispers of rebellion spread, Temmi and Spie find themselves in over their heads - romantically, politically and, possibly, fatally. Deadly eliminations and an anti-Empire coup? Things on Love Galaxy are getting seriously off script...

The competition kicks off May 7th 2026.

✨COVER REVEAL✨ My debut science fantasy, THE DEMON STAR, will be out next July from @dawbooks.bsky.social artist is Kieran Yanner, who could not have done a better job of capturing the vibe and setting of this book!

Book cover for THE DEMON STAR by Jesse Aragon. It shows a red/orange canyon landscape with alien ruins in the distance, and a ringed gas giant on the horizon. There is an eclipse in the sky, centered above three characters: a woman with light brown skin, dark red hair, and muscled arms, holding a spear; a boy with brown skin and black hair raising one hand toward the eclipse; and a man with pale skin, blond hair, and black robes.
