Y'all creepy motherfuckers who tracked down the author of My Immortal down had better at least buy her books. Y'all owe her that much after hunting her down as if her life is a game to you.
here’s a link to a site where you can purchase her books.
Her name is Rose Christo.
And holy shit, there’s going to be a memoir about the author’s time in the foster system, searching for her little brother, and how My Immortal played a part in that: Under the Same Stars. Do y’all know how much guts it takes to talk about the stuff she’s putting in that memoir? How much she has to care about getting this issue – how kids are treated in the foster system, especially Native kids – out in front of people?
She’s Plains Cree and Lenni Lanape and an activist, she digs Lacuna Coil (same), she started writing seriously because she wanted to give her gay best friend non-tragic stories about people like him, she was going to be a physicist before she decided to look for more direct ways to help her community.
Her Gives Light series is a queer m/m YA novel series that’s not tragic? And takes place on a Shoshone reservation?
Y’all, she sounds incredible, and we should support her. She sounds like everything Tumblr tries to support and love. We need to show up for her.
I laughed my ass off about My Immortal many, many times, and have wondered who wrote it, what became of them. It turns out the answer is … pretty damn awesome?
