Pinned
Hello👋I'm Aster Vaughn, an autistic, queer, indie published author of the series #BriarthorneUni & a sapphic poetry collection (Finally, She is Home). I've been a book lover and writer for as long as I can remember. Libraries saved my life in a world before the internet. Nice to meet you! #booksky
Currently offering my queer magical school fantasy trilogy ebooks for $20!

You can also grab the paperbacks in my shop if you prefer hard copy media - all come signed & with stickers, bookmarks, and other goodies I've made over the years.

‘AI is in everything! If you use spellcheck, you can’t be mad about ChatGPT!’

Look, you determinedly obtuse cantaloupe, don’t slander spell check, first created in 1961, made for PCs in 1980. NO ONE THINKS A SPELL CHECKER IS GEN AI.

What in the ever-loving straw-man tomfoolery.

I’ve been posting more on my tiktok lately 📚 besides that, lots of writing/revising/editing/repeat. #authorsky #authors #writing #writers

Ebooks are now available in my shop! My time with the Kindle Select program has ended (and it did not help me at all)

Grab both Book 1 & 2 for the price of one paperback :D

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

I'm no popular or trending author, but I will always send my books to libraries for free. If there are any libraries interested in carrying a NA modern fantasy magical college series with queer, autistic, and diverse representation, please send me a message!

Do any other authors write fanfic for fun? It's a nice break from my original work to play around with other people's characters in media I like 💗 #authorsky #booksky

Day 4 of #BriarthorneUni (my book) aesthetics for the main cast! Introducing Francesca (Frankie), a rich-girl-witch from a New Jersey coven. She's at BU to master her craft...and not welcome home until she does.

It's so difficult to remember to post here sometimes. I was off Meta for a week (a boycott that didn't seem very effective) and deleted my presence there for my personal, author, and jewelry business pages (kept my cosplay page, it has the most community engagement & threads) -

My mom got a grant for a book vending machine so that students can get free books! She’s been buying books to stock it out of pocket, but she’s also made a wishlist if you’d like to help. She teaches at a Title 1 elementary school, so it would be very appreciated! #booksky #blackbooksky #blacksky

That feeling when you're on a forced break to work on other stuff but it's so hard to focus on other stuff when all I want to do is write my book #justauthorthings

Day 3 Aesthetics of my #BriarthorneUni cast! This student is Dura, a half-orc fitness oriented woman dedicated to her path as a healer. She's queer, and on a path of self-discovery in more ways than one during the series.

This seems more important than ever right now.

BIPOC authors with great political plots
...
For reasons! 🙃

Books are Inherently Political. So here are some that have political plotlines and are also diverse!

Day 2 of sharing character aesthetics for my novel series #BriarthorneUni - Introducing Cian, my gruff, grumpy, runaway werewolf man (A main POV in the series). He's on campus against his will, but for his protection. Maybe he'll learn to trust again 🐺
