Shortcuts, the third Sanity & Tallulah graphic novel, is out now!


* * *
Buy it on: indiebound | bookshop.org | barnes&noble | amazon

* * *

Summary:

Tallulah is great at piloting! And with her learner’s permit freshly reinstated, she has the perfect opportunity to prove it: filling in on the mail route to nearby stations while all the regular pilots are out sick. It’s her first big solo flight, and yeah, okay, her parking could use some work, but she’s not even a little bit nervous—she’s got Sanity along as copilot, plenty of old flight logs for navigation, and they’ll be in radio contact with Wilnick almost the whole time.

All they have to do is follow the pre-approved route and stay out of the dangerous, uncharted, explosives-littered debris cloud…no matter how tempting a shortcut it is.

Oh, and don’t cross the military blockade into the United Territories, obviously.

See? No sweat!

Sanity and Tallulah’s pre-approved route didn’t say anything about space stations exploding, enemies in need of rescue, or getting caught in the middle of a border crisis in danger of escalating into all-out war, but sometimes totally awesome pilots have to change plans on the fly, and only an excellent copilot can keep things from going completely upside down.

Reblogged from mollybrooks

mollybrooks:

I just got comp copies of my new book in the mail, and it looks gorgeous! 

it comes out October 22nd, 2019 It’s the follow-up to my first graphic novel, Sanity & Tallulah, about two best friends who live on a space station and get into trouble. 

They spent most of the first book chasing their escaped science experiment (a three-headed kitten named Princess Sparkle, Destroyer of Worlds) around the station. In Field Trip their whole class get to visit an actual, real-life planet for the first time and it goes Very. Awry.

If you want to grab a copy, you can ask your local indie bookseller, or order it off Barnes & NobleAmazon, or Indigo.

my book officially exists!
