My complaint, and the complaint from my fellow editors at Black Kos, is this is a goddamn bigoted lie that we've put up with for over a decade. Now we have pogroms by MAGA Nazis across America.

The book is available in every marketplace. You just need to search using my author name: AV Kakkad and book name: Star & Thea at Court.

In India, only the kindle version is available at present since Amazon KDP does not offer local printing here. However, it may be available for order later as my first book's paperback version is. Since it is imported, it would be expensive.

It has taken me a long time but I have finally published my second book through Amazon KDP.
Yay, me!

Why a school story? Because I grew up on them & wondered how a brown child would fare in that setting.

I think those gnome like figures (albeit made of clay or ceramic) are pretty common in England? I have seen them while cycling through villages sitting on front gardens (which are tiny plots not you know big gardens).

"If the law cannot save a child, then it is a law that needs to be held accountable.
And if the world only acts when the victim resembles its own children, then the world needs a new conscience."

Those 4 Black school girls the klan blew up at the 16th street Baptist Church when I was 8, then the first cross burned on our lawn when I was 10 sealed it.
The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

I'm more than happy to purchase a copy, which I have done. I'll also mention it to the editors at Black Kos, @deniseoliver-velez.bsky.social, @chitownkev.bsky.social, @joanmardk.bsky.social & @dopper0189.bsky.social, if they don't know already. Thanks!
@justiceputnam.bsky.social Hey, Justice. My six-year-old book (I’m writing an updated version) might be a strong counter to Trump’s racism by ultimately providing a safe haven for black citizens. I’m debating the role of white allies in making it go faster. You can have a free copy. Just let me know

But courage is also contagious.
Let me send you a hug youngster. (I'll be 78 in August) I didn't get my BA till I was 44 - and then went on to grad school. Hang in there!
I'd be happy to.
Oh my! This is going to be a very long #BlockParty!
Have been going through the comments and #Blocking in the #BlockParty & a common feature of the #Blocked here are that many of them are cowards who were run out of town from Twitter, thinking they could come over here to Bluesky & continue with their crap takes.
