Savannah James
Disabled Author of Romance & Poetry
NEWEST RELEASE
SYNOPSIS
In her first poetry collection, Savannah James dives headfirst into her experiences as a type one diabetic, life with obsessive compulsive disorder, and ableism in the school setting. Through prose, notes, and rambles, she portrays the hardship of having a disability, along with the trauma of dealing with one at such a young age. She calls out the public school system that failed her and others like her, finally giving voice to the younger version of herself that didn’t have the power to defend or advocate for herself. This collection, ironically titled “arcadian”, is the author’s soul transferred onto paper, written with the hope that others like her will feel seen and validated through her story. Before reading please read the trigger warnings. Sensitive topics are discussed at length.

THE REVIEWS ARE IN
-
“James skillfully weaves universal themes of being misunderstood, the hardships of adolescence, and identity struggles that all audiences can connect with, fostering a sense of understanding and empathy.”
- Annalicia Aguilar, Editor at Riot of Roses Publishing House“This book is wonderful in its ability to be both a gut wrenching narrative of an adolescent girl’s struggle to cope with both a chronic illness and the ostracization forced on her by an ableist society as well as a widely applicable vocalization of the daily indignations faced by teenage girls.”
- Goodreads User -
“I really enjoyed and appreciated that this book balanced both fun, fast-paced action sequences and also romance, deep conversations, and vulnerability.”
- Meghan Devis, Author“Now one of my comfort reads, it was spectacular and I loved every second I spent reading this book! Assistant to the Assassin felt like a romantic comedy mixed with an action movie and it just brought everything to the table for me.”
- Georgia, Goodreads User“I DEVOURED this book in a single reading session, forging sleep in order to finish the book because I was hook, line, and sinkered from the first chapter.”
- NikkiReads365, Goodreads User“Assistant to the Assassin was a fun new read for me. Savannah brings a fresh set of eyes to the romance genre and her writing evokes all the emotions.”
- CJ, Goodreads User -
“The way the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice was reimagined in this book I thought was so interesting and well done. It kept the spirit of the original story while making changes that were surprising and fit in well with the overall themes.”
- Meghan Davis, Author“I guess if the worst I can say is I can't wait to keep reading about the world Savannah James has developed over the course of two books, it can't be too bad!”
- Shauna Richards, Goodreads User“This book felt like sitting on a windowsill, rain tapping pleasantly against the glass, while being wrapped in a wonderful blanket and enjoying your favorite hot drink. It was so incredibly cozy and warming. Beautifully written and rich with loveable characters.”
- Holly Clancy, Goodreads User"Savannah James has once again flipped this ancient script in a way that I haven't read before.”
- Nola, Goodreads User -
“This book is a breath of fresh air for the Romantasy genre.”
- Meghan Davis, Author“A bewitching romance that had me giddily kicking my feet and squealing. Rich, believable dialogue with the perfect peppering of charm and wit.”
- Holly Clancy, Goodreads User“This book was a fresh new take on Persephone and Hades. The characters genuinely fall for each other, they have supportive friends and family, and it’s true to the Greek myths, which makes my stickler brain happy.”
- Marissa L. Mosk, Goodreads User“A cozy Hades & Persephone retelling where Hades vacations to NYC and comes across a flower shop run by a goddess in hiding? SOLD.”
