here's the copy! what could go wrong!!!

copy for the obake code. it reads "

An all-new, stand-alone sci-fi caper from the author of Hammajang Luck: a bored hacker is forced by vicious gangsters to take down a crooked politician...only to find herself up against a code she might not be able to crack.

After the heist of a lifetime, Malia has it all: a loft apartment aboard the massive Kepler Station, expensive clothes, and a dev credit in her favorite video game. She’s also bored as hell. Three years after retiring her mantle as the Obake, the most infamous hacker in the quadrant—and arguably the galaxy—Malia hasn’t taken well to civilian life. So what’s the harm in rigging a few cybernetic prizefights and making a little cash on the side?

When Malia’s scheme is uncovered, she runs afoul of Jeongah Song—the dangerous leader of a local gang with a reputation for brutality. Malia is ready for retribution. But what she gets instead is an offer she can’t refuse: take down the local politician leading a “clean up the streets” campaign displacing residents and hindering Jeongah’s operations on the space station… or die. Without another way out, Malia takes the deal.

Luckily, she has some friends she can call on in times of need: a master thief, a street racing wheelman, and a femme fatale grifter. But as Malia digs deeper into the politician’s shady dealings, she finds herself embroiled in a conspiracy that might be too big for her to handle. One that has roots in her own rise as the Obake—a cybernetically enhanced superhacker created by a power-mad genius… a superhacker whose mods are rapidly degrading. Faced with threats on all sides, Malia may finally be in over her head...or stuck—forever—inside her own mind."

IT'S TIME so excited to reveal the cover for THE OBAKE CODE, art by the amazing Janelle Barone! THE OBAKE CODE is the next book in the heist lesbians universe: a standalone sequel set 3 years after HAMMAJANG LUCK, following the hacker, Malia, on her first heist as mastermind. what could go wrong!!

cover for the obake code. Malia, a brown skinned woman with long locs dip-dyed green and dressed in a white top, black baggy pants, and black boots, stands with her arm raised looking overhead. above her are futuristic cityscape style towers, with pink and purple lighted windows and glowing neon signs. a futuristic flying car zooms by overhead. there is a white Hawaiian-style tattoo badge to the left, depicting scythes, a bow, geometric shapes, and axes. the text reads THE OBAKE CODE, with "code" in glowing neon.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia

“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

it's lesbian visibility week AND indie bookstore day on the 26th! buy my lesbian book about nonbinary and trans butches and femmes being gay and doing crime from your favorite indie perhaps?

trope graphic for Hammajang Luck. the cover in the center shows a person with brown skin and brown hair in a red hoodie sitting on a pile of junk. behind them is a futuristic cityscape with gold clouds. the background of the graphic is the same cityscape with a teal sky and gold clouds. the tropes read “found family,” “crimes and heists,” “Ocean’s 8 meets Blade Runner,” “childhood friends to enemies to lovers,” “nonbinary MC,” and “lesbian cast.”

Everyone is haunted by something. For Jessa, that something is Ivy—her ex-best friend and first love. And she’ll do anything to get Ivy back in her life, even when very real ghosts have other plans for them #PosterPitQ #YA #H

In the center, two hands with matching friendship bracelets do a pinky promise. The photo is ripped down the center and retaped back together, and the hand on the left has been scribbled over in pen. Above the photo, there's a purple border. Black letters read: Readers said and bigger white letters below that read: "Such a novel spin on haunting and toxic obsessive relationships, on queerness and rage and loneliness". Below the photo, black letters read: One way or another, she's going to get her back" underlined with a pen scribble. In big letters, it says "Daggers in Their Smiles" and below that, in smaller letters, Young Adult Found Footage Paranormal Horror

When people bitch that kink at pride drives corporations away, remind them the corporations never gave a fuck about them. It was always about the money. Kinksters are your brothers and sisters, they will be there fighting for you, because they do have skin in the fight.
