No preorder or cover yet, but my next book, "Lo Nuns!" is a set of stories set in a late medieval pseudo-Europe. As normal (for me) there are loads of lesbian and transfem nuns, and they do more than just pray.
By the grace of the Saints (also mostly trans) please prepare to get hype!

Are you tired of lesbians having to be nice? Do you want lesbian romance sci-fi where fictional women get to go... apeshit?

Doing some more involved art with complex poses and backgrounds and realizing how has it been since I've been anything but a character artist.
Feeling a bit of a one trick pony ngl.
Anyway to make this less depressing what do you people prefer, lionfish squid witch or dragon cheerleader witch?

To be fair, they are dealing with the expense of having to buy a hotdog costume for every contributor

Around thirty, but I'm always hitting this dilemma:
The 'two button' meme: one button says "Read book," the other "Write book."

Me when I have to choose who gets the nobel for peace, any of the people who risked their lives in Gaza to save as many palestinians as possible and document the invasion or the latest heir to a dynasty of robber barons hell bent on selling her own country to the US.
*thinks norwergianly* Uhmm...

Yes, 'saving lives' is a pretty large benefit. It is a real shame that the healthcare in other countries haven't worked that out, apparently.

Oh yes, Peter, a straw hat IS like a crown of thorns, because they are both worn on the head. Brilliant work, sir.

The other thing that is notable about this is that the moment he received pushback, Piers just collapses into a sputtering mess.

This class of 'pundit' has become so used to going unchallenged that they literally don't know how to deal with it. Embarrassing it took so long for this to be exposed.

Is a "A Rotten Girl" as cringe-inducing as the summary implies? Yes absolutely.

But also as someone incredibly susceptible to second hand embarrassment I still read the entire thing in a day, giggling the entire time, 10/10.

Oh yeah, book promo.

"A Rotten Girl" is my literary satire that features the worst transfem getting involved in the worst industry, publishing. Serious, funny, angry, cringe-tastic; I am very proud of it.

The cover of "A Rotten Girl"; a woman's face, with her eyes hidden by a rough band of white.

Text reads:
Pearl is a trans woman writer on the cusp of literary greatness... or so she thought until her agent informs her that her first book has sunken like a stone for its failure to "connect with normal people". Normal people. Heterosexual people. Cisgender people.

Jaded from the knowledge that this industry rarely lets in people like her, Pearl comes up with a plan: write a commercial male/male romance. Except the market's all about authenticity these days, isn't it? The plan gets complicated, drawing her into a web of escalating deceptions where she poses as a cisgender gay man and comes ever closer to destroying all her relationships, and her own life.

A Rotten Girl is a satirical drama that explores gender, public personas, the commodification of queerness—and the reality of what it is like to be a trans woman in a hostile world.

“This entire meditation on the pseudofeminism underpinning this market is so focused and cutting, you can't help but marvel at it.” - Talia Bhatt

Apparently, people need to know that you have written books before they can read them!
Proper authors plug every day; I tend to go "oh shit, promo" every so often!

Also features Tuc biscuits, and yet still no sponsorship from Jacobs.
A packet of tuc biscuits, mostly empty. A tuc biscuit is before it; it consists of two crackers with a cheesy cream between them.
