All She Wrote Books Presents: SINK OR BURN Book Talk

Join us as welcome author Cristy Road Carrera on Tuesday, May 12th at 6:00pm for a conversation with author Nathan Tavares, as they discuss Cristy's punk rock anthem and a manifesto for the broken-hearted, Sink Or Burn. "Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs accommodations, please email us at <a href="mailto:info@allshewrotebooks.com">info@allshewrotebooks.com</a>. About the Book In Sink Or Burn, the year is 2121, and fascism has overthrown a once-thriving utopia. Amid the ashes of a fallen nation, Cheap Glitter—a queer, punk rock band—becomes the voice of resistance. As they tour across a fractured America, raising funds for the fight against a brutal regime, they navigate wildfires, sunken landscapes, and the terrifying laws of a collapsing society. At the heart of their journey is CT, a lovelorn survivor whose romantic entanglement with a fellow bandmate—a survivor of a different war—complicates their quest for both personal healing and social revolution. As the band balances the weight of trauma with the urgency of their fight, they discover that love, however chaotic, may be their greatest weapon. About the Authors Eternal rabble rouser Cristy Road Carrera is a first generation Cuban-American artist, writer and musician. Blending anti-fascist principles with survival love stories—Road has spent over twenty-five years testifying to the beauty of the imperfect. Her career began in 1996 with a self-published punk rock fanzine, sparking decades of illustrations for music, literature and social movements. Forging an imprint in queer, feminist counter cultures with graphic memoirs, illustrated novels, and punk rock records; Carrera redefined her career in 2019 with the release of the Next World Tarot, a tarot card deck that envisions a world based on radical re-definitions of self-love and social justice. Carrera has been fronting punk rock bands since her days of self-publishing fanzines. She currently performs her songs as Choked Up, making records and playing shows with the ancient punk rock ethos of passion before profit. Engaging with her world anywhere from Yale University to Bluestockings Bookstore, Carrera continues to thrive on the fringe of the mainstream, and the epicenter of revolution. She is a gemini and works and lives in NYC and Miami. Nathan Tavares is a novelist and journalist based in Boston, Massachusetts. He grew up in the Portuguese-American community of southeastern Massachusetts and developed a love for fantastical stories at an early age. He is the author of three queer science fiction novels from Titan Books, including A Fractured Infinity—which the New York Times called "a very beautiful, tender portrait of a romance"—and The Disco at the End of the World (June 2026).
