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

    - Meghan Devis, Author

    - 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.”

  • “This book is a breath of fresh air for the Romantasy genre.”

    “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.”
