![]() ![]() One of these books is Bishop’s Move, a book whose scheduled March release has now been cancelled. I will not be doing sensitivity reading for him in the future. I was a sensitivity reader for two of his books, and have completed that work. I will not be reviewing future collections that include his work. I intend to review that collection so as to call attention to the work of the other creators involved. I accepted an ARC a while ago for a collection that included a story by him that story has been removed from the collection. This includes ones that were co-authored, though I am not assuming co-authors were involved in or responsible for his actions. I will no longer be recommending his books or reviewing them. I have reviewed his books on my blog and on Goodreads, and included them on book recommendation lists. ![]() I have withdrawn my pledge and will not be financially supporting him in the future. I am now severing these ties, which I am outlining below for transparency. I now have more information about the ways readers have been exploited and harmed by him, which included emotional and sexual abuse. I want to acknowledge that I have had ties to Santino Hassell, that were made in good faith, based on what I knew at the time. It also briefly discusses books that contain bullying, queer hatred, and BDSM. ![]() Content warning: This post references sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and exploitation. ![]()
