Lots of new followers, so...
Hi! I'm Utunu, I write LGBTQ+ fantasy and science fiction.
I have two books out currently: 'Rafts', a romantasy (18+) novella; and 'Far Flung', a science fiction novel.
You can learn more about them on Goodreads, and they are available at mapakuvillage.com (and others)!

The two fennecs have been effectively attached at the hip (ears?) since they were kits, and the relationship between all three characters progresses during the story.

Utunu @utunu.bsky.social · 23d

Really? Awww. :)

Utunu @utunu.bsky.social · 23d

Heeee! I knooooow, they can't help it. :)

Utunu @utunu.bsky.social · 29d

All I can say is that it better have been absolutely shellacked with Scotchgard.

Utunu @utunu.bsky.social · 29d

Nice! And uh oh, commissioning art of him... that means the transformation is dangerously close to completion. ;)

Utunu @utunu.bsky.social · Sep 17

Ha! That'd certainly improve my sales. :)

Utunu @utunu.bsky.social · Sep 17

Yep, that's me! :)

Utunu @utunu.bsky.social · Sep 17
