COVER REVEAL ⭐ SO happy to share the cover for my debut novel, RAVISHING💄💉✨! It's a perfect look for a book about the beauty industry, trauma, chronic illness, and being brown. Huge thanks to @roxanegay.bsky.social, @groveatlantic.bsky.social and the incredible designer, Kimberly Glyder!
Book cover for Ravishing by Eshani Surya! The cover is teal with a pink stripe running through the center. It says Ravishing on the top with a syringe for the first letter I. The bottom says Eshani Surya. In the center there is a ring light with an Indian girl's face in it; she looks fearful and intense.

Happy pub day Steph Brown! WATCHING WOMEN tracks the emergence of the 20thC British surveillance state as a response to the amazing protest tactics of Women's Suffrage movement. It's historically and methodologically important, but hear me out: it's often wildly entertaining—those ladies ruled.
