Shadows in Dream Stone arrives May 5, 2026, and I’m inviting the community to celebrate this long, strange, deeply meaningful creative milestone with me.The novel is a sapphic dystopian sci-fi story that explores themes of reproductive justice, abortion, miscarriage, bodily autonomy, and state control, with a worldview that will resonate with readers familiar with The Handmaid’s Tale.
This launch event is a space to gather, connect, and learn more about the book and its themes.
There will be:
🌙 Charcuterie + mocktails
📖 A short reading from the novel
💬 Conversation, questions, and community time
✨ A celebration of independent publishing and creative persistence
📚 Pre-orders (Optional, but Appreciated):
For authors, pre-orders play an important role in a book’s early success—especially in the first several weeks after release. If you’d like to further support Shadows in Dream Stone, you’re warmly invited to pre-order before the event.
As a thank-you, anyone who pre-orders from an INDIE BOOKSTORE and attends will receive a special gift from yours truly. (Just bring and show your receipt ). 💜
PRE-ORDER LINKS COMING SOON!
Please note:
This story engages with difficult topics. You do not need to agree with its perspective to attend, but respect for others is required. If these themes feel likely to cause anger or distress for you, this event may not be the right space—and that’s okay.
This is an LGBTQIA+ affirming, community-centered event. All are welcome, provided everyone remains respectful and considerate of differing lived experiences.
I’d love to see you there. 🖤
- Kelly K.
