It is currently 3:46 am, dawn will unstitch itself from the horizon and break free in a while and i am still here reeling after finishing we free the stars an hour or so ago. Thankyou for that. Even the unexpected punches to the gut every business chapter :D

aw, i'm thrilled you enjoyed it <33

A TEMPEST OF TEA isn’t out yet, but there’s meme art and I am here for it. Thank you for this spectacular thing, Artywings!

ATOT releases Fall 2022—a new duology that I like to call King Arthur meets Peaky Blinders with vampires and a heist to save (girlboss) Arthie Casimir’s tearoom that doubles as an illegal blood house!

my murderous duo <33

Guess what book I finished last night 👀 Immediately started We Free the Stars. @hafsahfaizal giving us all the feels with these books I can’t.

may I introduce you to my novel with POC vampires and a heist to save a tearoom that doubles as an illegal blood house, A TEMPEST OF TEA!

not modern-day, but still!

why are vampires so common in romance genres when they

don't show up on camera

are immune to bullets

my point being vampires are the ideal heist protagonists. give us VAMPIRE BANK ROBBERS

I just finished we free the Stars and it was so, so good! I have a few questions...

Would you ever continue writing from the same world again? (I’m not ready to let them go)

Also, in chapter 111, what did Jasmine see in her vision?

So thrilled you enjoyed the read! You might have noticed I left a few threads hanging, including that one vision Yasmine sees. Because, though Zafira and Nasir’s story has come to an end, I would love to write a spinoff through two other characters one day!

For now, I’m focusing on my new story, A TEMPEST OF TEA!

[hafsahfaizal]

this is perfection <33

Y'all ready? We Free The Stars by @hafsahfaizal is here!

I was so happy to have had the chance to read the stunning conclusion to this duology early, and my heart is whole and brimming with fullness with this story! I laughed, and sobbed, and gasped, it was such a wild ride all the way through the end! The journey these characters trek is so vast, and the feelings they carry are so intimate!

*** Not a spoiler warning, But non-spoilery opinions and feelings on the book below which some may consider as spoilers, sooo kinda a spoiler warning***

To celebrate, I couldn’t help but highlight one of the many romantic moments between our steely duo; Nasira date night! The tension between these two is so palpable, and yet so respectful of each other’s ambitions, which only amplified the yearning - my heaaaart.

Kifah! My spirit person! My hero! 🧡🧡🧡 I so loved how you are the glue, the foundation that kept the zumra whole when it was moments away from shattering.

Altair…. I have no words, but you made me cry more than anything else. I’m crying right now. 😭

I know Hafsah expressed she had a tough journey with this, and I can feel it in her words, but I’m so happy she could share the conclusion of this journey with her readers. Thank you so much and best wishes for the release and future endeavors!! ✨🧡

14 days until WE FREE THE STARS, and I'm excited to reveal the gorgeous artwork Macmillan commissioned from the inimitable @elithien! I couldn't be more in love with this spectacular piece—the angst! the longing! her dress! the blood vial! the lush, rich colors! I'm thrilled. We're giving away these exclusive art prints with each signed + personalized copy ordered through Interabang Books or GC Reading, so I suggest you get on that because quantities are limited AND the cut-off date to order is January 15th; no exceptions! PLUS you can submit your pre-order receipt to claim a limited edition enamel pin! Find all the links you need here. As always, thank you all so much. I know I say this a lot, but pre-orders are so crucial to a book's success. These sales accumulate and are tallied on release day, giving a book a greater chance of landing on the bestselling lists (like the New York Times!), being shelved (digitally, too) in prime locations, and more. So thank you 🖤

this is STUNNING

he knew the weight of anguish that could drown a city in sand. he knew that look, that feeling. to watch a loved one suffer. to know one could have done so much but can now do nothing at all. it was the feeling that made him stop feeling.

@projectliterature​ event 02: underappreciated   —  WE HUNT THE FLAME.

love is for children, said the girl. death is for fools, said the shadow. darkness is my destiny, said the boy. allegiance is my undoing, said the eagle. suffering is our fate, said the beauty. and they were all horribly wrong.

• The darkness no longer simply called to her; it had opened a void inside her, gaping and hungry.
