As someone who writes across multiple genres (romance, science fiction, thriller, etc), and who always tells other writers that genre isn't as important as story/characters and readers WILL follow you to unfamiliar territory if you give them a reason to trust you... I really enjoy the fact that the first two books I've had adapted are a crime fantasy drama about a cop who hunts demons, and a sweet, quiet romance set in the country. It really shows range. 😁
And just a reminder you can see Static Space (the second one, the sweet quiet romance based on my novel Can You Hear Me) on YouTube for free! Like, comment, share as the kids say.
(Also Riley Parra is available on Tello Films (with a subscription, for the full uncut experience) and for free on Plex (edited into a movie).
On an Instagram post from Christin Baker, the director of Riley Parra! As someone who has watched many things over and over again to the point where I can quote them, it means a lot that someone out there has done that for something I wrote. 😊
It also means a lot that so many people knew the answer immediately.
Anyone ever think about how wild it was that back in ~2014, the biggest piece of lesbian fandom media was Carmilla, a webseries about vampires executive produced by a tampon company?
It's that time of the year and I'm just gonna drop the Black Queer Media List here…
This is a media list full of Movies, Shows, Web Series made up of Black Queer ppl if I'm missing anything plz let me know ASAP so I can update it!
This is a living document!!!
Happy birthday to Riley Parra! Six years ago, the webseries based on my novels premiered. I still can't believe how lucky I got with this adaptation. To have Riley played by someone who is SO RIGHT for the character, and to have Liz Vassey take control of her love interest, and Priest... AHH PRIEST. I had no idea how they'd find the right person, but they did. Somehow they did. 😁
Huge thanks to the Filmmakers Podcast for highlighting Riley Parra Better Angels!
I’m just so in love with that image. I’m such a lucky author. First adaptation of anything I’ve written, and I get Marem Hassler and Liz Vassey as its faces. Dream come true. 😁
