Rina believes she became passionate about storytelling mainly due to her upbringing as a polyglot. There is always the depiction of angst, darkness, violence, and too much of heat in her books. Quite often, Rina depicts her heroes as anti-heroes and killers. Author Rina claims that she has been obsessed with the idea of creating edgy, flawed characters and storytelling since her younger days. When Rina is not engaged in her travels or studies, she is usually found bringing her characters to life from the distant corners of her mind. Although she hails from London, Rina is required to parade between North Africa and France constantly because of the demanding job of her husband and her studies. Rina’s books have brought enormous success in her writing career and have helped her in establishing herself in the ranks of the prominent authors of the romantic suspense genre. She has also contributed to a series called Dark High School Bully Romance by collaborating with authors such as Nicole Cypher, Logan Fox, Natalie Bennett, and Esmie Devlin.

Brown advocates for the “A” in LGBTQIA+, affirming that to be asexual is to be queer–despite the gatekeeping and denial that often says otherwise. She takes an incisive look at how anti-Blackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity, and capitalism enact harm against asexual people, contextualizing acephobia within a racial framework in the first book of its kind. Brown offers new perspectives on asexuality. In this exploration of what it means to be Black and asexual in America today, Sherronda J. For asexual folks, it means that ace and A-spec identity is often defined by a queerness that’s not queer enough, seen through a lens of perceived lack: lack of pleasure, connection, joy, maturity, and even humanity. And it impacts the most marginalized among us. It’s intertwined with our ideas about capitalism, race, gender, and queerness. The notion that everyone wants sex–and that we all have to have it–is false. For readers of Ace and Belly of the Beast: A Black queer feminist exploration of asexuality–and an incisive interrogation of the sex-obsessed culture that invisibilizes and ignores asexual and A-spec identity.Įverything you know about sex and asexuality is (probably) wrong. 5/10/2023 0 Comments White fang illustratedThe puppy pack he now belongs to see him as a wolf and treat him as an enemy.

While she'd lived, blood had been a tinny, nasty thing, but now it was yummy. like a real person.Įlvi had arrived at the counter well ahead of the men, but now as they reached her, she still stood hemming and hawing over her choices. Elvi had managed a smile for each in passing, knowing that what was startling them was that she was shopping. They'd glanced her way, and then done a double take when they saw who it was. It was late enough that the store was nearly empty, which meant lots of carts were all lined up at the front waiting for her.Įlvi had tugged one free and pushed it to the back of the store at a near run, drawing the eye of the few people stacking shelves. Gasping a "thank you" she'd charged for the store, rushing ahead and leaving the men to trail her or not as they liked. Only a steadying hand from Victor had kept her upright. Didn't he know she needed food?Įlvi had nearly fallen flat on her face in her rush to get out of the car. She had no idea what a sire was and couldn't be bothered to sort it out at this point. She had no idea what Alessandro was nattering on about with such outrage. To leave you in such ignorance."Įlvi ignored him. "Who is your sire, bella? I would talk to him about this. "She didn't know she could," he answered absently. "She hasn't eaten in five years," Victor muttered distractedly as he stood at her side, eyeing the cakes with interest. The emergency is cheesecake?"Įdward sounded incredulous as he watched Elvi hover indecisively over the cake counter. |
