It's been a while! I spent the last month preparing for a long surgery, which I had last Monday.
I'm currently home recovering, but just found out #TheNightward is having an ebook sale.
It's $1.99 on Kobo & Amazon!!
In Canada, the sale ends soon, so if you're interested in a fast paced scifantasy version of The Witcher meets Caribbean mythology set in a world ruled by women warrior-magicians, now's your chance!

Hugo nominations close in a few hours! Please consider my Locus & BSFA long-listed novel #TheNightward.
A young princess flees a coup with her protectors, but it's also a conversation about power & its intersection with gender & the stories we tell ourselves.

Sometimes reviewers just get it, and Locus Magazine really, really got #TheNightward.
"Garcia writes with deft vigour, creating compelling characters and a clear sense of a world bursting with history and possibility, drama and threat."

#TheNightward is 2 months old!
I was passed over by every agent I tried with this book. Several said, no idea who I would buy it.
Well, apparently lots of readers love a book with gendered magic, queedoms & the road trip from hell.
Want a taste? Try this excerpt!

It's 1 month since #TheNightward dropped & I'm blown away by how wonderfully it's being received! Thank you so much to everyone who has read and recommended it.
Publishers Weekly said: 'well-suited to readers of Brandon Sanderson'!
And there's a great review in Locus Magazine's Nov issue, where I AM ON THE COVER!
If you can, I'd be grateful for an add to shelf on Goodreads etc., or a review! And here's a sneak peak of the Locus review.

Anyway, if you'd like to see women kick ass after a bunch of assholes launch a coup against their gov, buy my book #TheNightward.
It's not a romantasy, but it does have a lot of angry people standing up to fight for the very real future a child represents.

So my book dropped in the worst time for new media since the pandemic. But if The Witcher meets Caribbean mythology in a bodyguard chase novel set in a world with gendered magic sounds fun, guess what?

Oh & the audiobook SLAPS.
