It definitely aims high and I think that's what makes this such an amazing book. There's no easy answers here because its all of this and more.

It's also desperate and personal. It's sweaty and lusty. It's a story about survival, told in a way that should (hopefully!) pull you in and take you on a journey. It aims high, and I love it for that reason. If you're curious, there are sample chapters available here: prismata-press.itch.io/mara

We're doing our first live book event! A signing on 26 Sep at 3:30 PM at Blue Hills Books in Auckland! We'll have paperbacks for sale. Hope to see you there! #auckland #lgbtq #queerbooks

Thanks for reading! Love to hear this!

We're now reading MARA, by @sophiajt.com It reads like an old, heady pulp serial, with it's stark, efficient language, lofty science fiction setting, and avant garde formatting. It took us a little while to get into it, but it's seriously enthralling. It feels both breathless & breathful. Love it.

Thank you so much, Aubrey!

LISTEN UP I FINISHED MARA AND HOLY SHIT DID I LOVE IT 💖 It's queer, it's trans, its grappling with the concept of god while taking you on a wild ride of a space opera--basically this book was made for me. @prismata.press Go pre-order it now omg prismata-press.itch.io/mara

This was a book that I could see in my mind's eye with perfect clarity and I was rivetted to it throughout

One more week until Mara releases, which means one more work of getting it at its discount pre-order price! Come and get your yummy trans lesbian space shenanigans with a side of heady anarchism. "Very cinematic. That was such a wild ride" -- @trishusband.itch.io prismata-press.itch.io/mara

Thanks for listening to our audiobook, Steph! Enjoy digging into more of your TBR. 📚

#SummerOfStories 28 I recently finished Machines of Consent by @sophiajt.com (audiobook w/ @autumnwolff.bsky.social ) I'm currently almost done with Gideon the 9th (Locked Tomb series) And I have way too much on my TBR 😅 Shout out to Hoopla and Libby. I mainly read from the library!

The way I will be first in line when I can get my hands on a physical copy 🙏🏼

Final versions of Mara sent off to Amazon and IngramSpark yesterday. Happy with where it landed, and I'm very much looking forward to y'all getting it when it releases 10th August. If you don't mind buying from itch, we still have it up for the pre-order special of 2.99: prismata-press.itch.io/mara

Replying to @sophiajt.com

Mara is a space opera about messy characters in an oppressive universe. Inspired in equal parts by the corrosive influence of genAI, the Buddhist concepts of reality, psychic powers, trans autonomy, and anarchist ideals, it's a both a page turning ride and a very personal encouragement to survive.

Thank you so much for reviewing our next book, "Mara". Reviews mean so much to authors! We appreciate it. 📚 prismata-press.itch.io/mara www.amazon.com/dp/B0H62FSYL8 #trans #lesbian #queerlit #scifi #spaceopera #booksky

As an author this is *big*, and something I hope folks do (and not just because I'm in this position myself) Your first book is so much of a learning experience. And perhaps also your first major public feedback. You absorb and grow, and then jump into your second book determined. At least I did 😅

Just a girl and her books@thebookwyrmshoard2.bsky.social

I know I've said this before but the thing I love the most about reading is reading an author's 1st book and having some complaints, but deciding to stick w/ it. But then reading their 2nd book and finding that you cannot remember what one of those complaints were because book 2 is just so good. 1/

We've been cheeky about what Mara IS NOT, so what IS Mara? At its heart, Mara is about the struggle against oppression (internal, local, and galactic) with messy, flawed characters. Relatably human, even with an android messiah at its center! Both epic and heartfelt. prismata-press.itch.io/mara

I’m only a quarter way through my arc of this book but I’m already ✨obsessed✨ holy shit

When I try to explain Mara, it goes something like this: Imagine Dune. Now imagine it wasn't a homophobic, misogynistic male power fantasy racist hero's journey about using native people to regain a throne. So... nothing like Dune. Mara: Dune, but nothing like Dune. prismata-press.itch.io/mara
