Exciting Cover Reveal!!!!! Daybreak Rising by @coliver_writes

So I'm super excited to be apart of this cover reveal, mainly because I read the book earlier in the year, and we've had the pleasure of hosting C.K. Oliver on our blog before.

If you don't already notice, f/f romance(stands for female/female) doesn't get as much recognition. We're always on the lookout for f/f, especially if it's inclusive(religiously, racially, disability rep, etc.).

What I liked most about Daybreak Rising is that it's an actually LGBTQ book. I know folks are wondering what I mean by that statement, and a year ago I would've argued the same, but bear with me.

Technically most folks label books LGBTQ, when they really mean a particular letter. If there isn't trans, bisexual, lesbian or other other identities in a book, I believe it should be labeled as such, because I'm often looking for all those if I see the label LGBTQ, and get mighty disappointed when all of it isn't repped.

Daybreak Rising actually has multiple identities represented, as well as racial and disability representation, and after a long awaited announcement, I've just found out it's going to be a trilogy!

Before I go on and on about how awesome this ish is, here's the cover! Add it to you TBR...now!

Black Speculative Fiction Month, Day 23: Author Dennis R. Upkins joins us again! #BSFM and LGBTQ Month all in one!

So we've got another awesome treat from author Dennis Upkins! Seeing how Black Speculative Fiction Month and LGBTQ Month fall under the same month, we couldn't go the entire month without addressing both!

Denny was cool enough to join us twice for the month, to bring awareness to some awesome spec fic featuring strong intersectionality, which is what we're really big on here @ Twinja Book Reviews!

Take out your pencils people! We're about to add some more books to our Amazon wishlists!

Black, Queer and Awesome: Twinja Book Reviews Top Ten List of Black Queer protagonists in Speculative Ficiton

While it is Black Speculative Fiction Month, it's also LGBTQ Month too! Queer main characters are often the most difficult to find when looking for characters of color, that are also with the Speculative Fiction Club. For the most part these books highlight main characters whom are of African Descent who identify as queer. Unless stated otherwise, every book features a major character who is Black and Queer.

 We've complied a list of the coolest books in Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, Weird Fiction, Hybrids of many, or just Speculative Fiction as a whole! Hope you hop over to GoodReads to check these out! Side Notes: Some books have several cover versions. If they were too difficult to decide which cover was more awesome, both a listed. Our efforts to highlight black authors only were difficult, so there two authors whom are white, and one whom is mixed race(Asian and white).
