Introducing the first* novel about abortion in post-Roe America: WE DANCE UPON DEMONS. With an incredible cover by the ONE the ONLY Maria Qamar / @hatecopy — the book is basically an art print. WE DANCE UPON DEMONS is about abortion, choice, depression, dance, demons, AND it’s funny (according to my sister, the arbiter of humor). It’s about looking at the cost of fighting the good fight, wanting to give up, and fighting anyways. And I’ll be donating 10% of all royalties made in the first year (even if I never earn out) to abortion funds. So please consider preordering to help this book, and help fuel the fight. *by my count this is the first novel, but do tell me if I’m wrong. Since Roe fell, there has been plenty of nonfiction on the topic. And there have been historical and dystopian novels about reproductive justice. As far as I can tell, there’s been nothing set in the real world about the actual dystopia women are facing, and I aim to change that. *** From the New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi, a galvanizing stand-alone contemporary fantasy following a burnt-out reproductive health care worker as she fights back against escalating attacks on her clinic and the malevolent forces in hot pursuit of her newly acquired power. #abortion #abortionfunds #prochoice #reproductiverights #reproductivejustice #wedanceupondemons #vaishnavipatel
