I am honored to announce that the @americanlibrary

I am honored to announce that the @americanlibraryassociation has selected #TUCOBOAT as one of their top ten selections for the 2026 Rise: a feminist book project for ages 0-18. #endometriosis is front and center in this story, and I am so excited to discuss periods, menstruation, and medical justice and equity with everyone who turns these pages. During these times, intersectional feminism and activism is more important than ever. To the booksellers, librarians, and readers who continue to champion this story: I am so humbled by your support. Thank you! ♥️ #endo #endometriosisawareness #endoawareness @endofound @enpowr_endofound #periodproject #periods @tampax #tampons @ubykotex #pcos #uterus #adenomyosis

The Czech cover for my novel The Unexpected Conseq

The Czech cover for my novel The Unexpected Consequence of Bleeding on a Tuesday (in Czech, it's Nečekaný následek úterního krvácení!) is so fierce and brave and badass. Periods exist. Period blood is not vulgarity, and I'm so proud that my name is on something as unflinching and powerful as this artwork. I am thankful to @yoli.cz for sharing my story to Czech readers!

The Unexpected Consequence of Bleeding on a Tuesday is my love letter to the friends and family who stood by my side during my own #endometriosis journey and my hate letter to my uterus. 🥴
