Cover reveal for A THOUSAND BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS!

Hello, hello, and happy autumn!

I’m so delighted to be able to share the cover of the forthcoming anthology A Thousand Beginnings and Endings (a YA anthology of retellings of Asian folklore and mythology and fairy tales by authors whose heritage those stories come from)! My piece is called “Daughter of the Sun,” and is a mash-up of two stories from the Mahabharata: “Savitri and Satyavan” and “Ganga and Shantanu.” The lineup is full of amazing writers, and I can’t wait to read the whole book!

You can preorder it here and here.

For now, feast your eyes on this cover!
