This interview with @Naomified was one of the first times I got to talk to this thoughtful, generous human. (She also instigated @generationveX and in her day job works in books.) Even if you don’t read her interview with me this is a human to keep an eye on!
It was a privilege to write a profile of @RowanHLB for Issue 2 of @thewowmagzine. We chatted about writing, identity, and defining ‘home’ ✨✨

#StarlingDays is simply wonderful. Particularly loved the exploration of the complexities of Japanese identity by @RowanHLB. It’s so therapeutic to see yourself represented in literature when you’re not used to it at all ✨✨✨✨✨
HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY to this gem of a book. I cannot emphasise enough how much I 💙 it. To see identity, sexuality and the modern pressure of “chasing happiness” explored so beautifully is a blessing to read. Congratulations @RowanHLB – an incredible achievement! #StarlingDays
