Generation Manifestation Launches Sept 14, 2021!

Just a week away! In honor of the launch of Generation Manifestation, here's an excerpt and some concept art inspired by the book's comic...

Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration

When I was first coming out, a friend of a friend insisted I read Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration by David Wojnarowicz....

Thank you for the I Want Superpowers reviews, relaunching in September 2021 as Generation Manifestation.

ABOUT ME

My writing ranges from young adult dystopias (I Want Superpowers, releasing in September 2021 as Generation Manifestation) or gay teens with superpowers (Queeroes) to adult books (How A Loser Like Me Survived the Apocalypse, Gay and Single...Forever?) to kids' picture books

(The Adventures of Philippe series). What they all have in common is heart, humor that is paradoxically light and dark, and a love for the fantastic.

"I give this QFIVE NERD glasses out of FIVE. If you pick it up, fasten your seat belts because this is a wild ride." —Nerd and Lace

"Normand was my fav...can't wait for the second volume!" —Stories and Plot Twists

I Want Superpowers wins the New Apple Literary Award!

"Bereznai has created something really special here, something that speaks to the certified nerd in me. He has not only concocted a story that feels wholly original, characters that were intriguing and believable, and a plot that kept me eager to see unfold; but he did all of this in less than 300 freaking pages." —Deer Tales

"One of the things that I ask from an author is to take me away from reality... As horrifying as this world is, I want to walk the Yellow Zone. I want to visit the ruins of what once was." —Nerd and Lace
