Here’s another piece of spoiler-free artwork from my upcoming novel, My Summer (and the Song of Cicadas), due out next year. I won’t say much about this composition other than the figure is one of the main characters and yes, he’s wearing a costume.

Happy Pride Month fellow #LGBTQIA people! 🌈 Some of you may not know that I have six books published - STAINED; SCARS; HUNTED; PARALLEL VISIONS; DRAGON SPEAKER: THE LAST DRAGON; and SKINWALKERS: WALKING BOTH SIDES. They're all #YAlit. The first two are YA suspense and all the others are fantasy, including the last two which are hi-lo (high interest, low vocabulary). The ones that have my strongest voice, #LGBTQIA characters, and that deal with trauma and healing are the first four, though I feel like they all have small pieces of my soul. #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist #YAlit #YAbooks #yaauthorsofinstagram #YAauthor #yalgbtq #Yasuspense #yafantasy #bookstagram #bookrecs #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLO6zSAvKx/?igshid=1oqj23gc7poa6

I visited @chaptersscarborough with a friend yesterday, and I was so happy to see that they had #LGBTQIA book displays in both the picture book section and in the YA fiction section even though Pride Month is over. LGBTQIA books should be visible and accessible all year long. I would have liked to see more lesbian and trans books in the YA section since we are usually underrepresented but overall it was fantastic to see. @chaptersindigo you did a good thing. @robinstevensonwrites your book Pride was faceout! The LGBTQIA books featured were: Kidlit: -It Feels GoodTo Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity by Theresa Thorn and Noah Grigni -Red: A Crayon's Story by Michael Hall -Pride: Celebrating Diversity & Community by Robin Stevenson -Maiden & Princess by Daniel Haack & Isabel Galupto, ill. by Becca Human -Worm Loves Worm by J. J. Austrian and Mike Curato -Our Rainbow -A Tale Of Two Daddies by Vanita Oelschlager and Kristen Blackwood -Queer Heroes: Meet 53 LGBTQ Heroes From Past and Present by Arabelle Sicardi and Sarah Tanat-Jones -And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, ill. by Henry Cole YA Books: -Simon VS. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli -This Book Is Gay by Juno Dawson and David Levithan -Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour -What If It's Us by Becky Albertalki and Adam Silvera -More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera -The Inexplicable Logic Of My Life by Benjamin Alire Saenz #lgbtqiabooks #yalgbtq #lgbtqiaYA #lgbtqkidlit #yabookrecommendations #yabookrecs #bookrecs #weneeddiversebooks #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tLF0IAyWA/?igshid=15yd1hq54opii

I had to take a break from editing my LGBTQ YA manuscript to get some groceries, and I bumped into my gay neighbor wearing lots of rainbows who put a rainbow Lei around my neck, and we wished each other happy Pride. It's always nice to have those kind of interactions. And of course I wore my Nobody Knows I'm a Lesbian t-shirt to the grocery store! (I think the T is funny.) It's hot out there! If you're out for Pride, don't forget your sunscreen. And have fun! It is so affirming and celebratory to be surrounded by the LGBTQ community and to see we're not alone. Community and visibility matters! 🌈 #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist #lgbtqia #LGBTQ #lgbtqiapride #lgbtqiabooks #yalgbtq https://www.instagram.com/p/BzDvZONgrL1/?igshid=1fmyve4uym8c8

I am delighted that #YAlit author Jamie Deacon, who also writes about #LGBTQIA teens who struggle, included SCARS in their list of 10 YA LGBT+ Novels To Read For Mental Health Awareness Week.

The top books challenged in 2018 were targeted especially for #LGBTQIA content & dealing with painful issues such as teen suicide. (sighing) The top challenged books include GEORGE by Alex Gino (transgender); A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MARLON BUNDO by Jill Twiss (LGBTQIA); THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas (anti-cop, profanity, drug use - but I think the real reason is racism); THIRTEEN REASONS WHY by Jay Asher (teen suicide), THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART-TIME INDIAN by Sherman Alexie; DRAMA by Raina Telgemeir (LGBTQIA); THIS DAY IN JUNE by Gayle E Pitman (LGBTQIA); TWO BOYS KISSING by David Levithan (LGBTQIA). As always - don't like a book? Don't read it. But don't prevent others who may need it, who might heal from it, from reading it.
