In less than 3 weeks, I'll officially be moving to Quebec. And I'm still raising money for moving expenses and tuition. Anything you can spare would really help.

I have a GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-autum...

Check it out! I had so much fun talking with Moth and occasionally remembering to talk about The Wolf Bane 😆

What makes for good lesbian romance? WEREWOLVES, duh. @sadhbhgirl.bsky.social joined me for a romp through her new novel "The Wolf Bane." We talk the healing power of dark humor, researching werewolves, crafting character studies, and of course, lesbians!

I’m really glad I went ahead and made the full spread cover when I made the ebook bc this was a breeze.

Also I’ve done kind of a lot by now so it should be easier than it is

Update: a paperback proof is on its way to my house.

Just completed FINAL EDITS for Disposable Magic & made my epub. Huge thanks to my editor & marine biology fact-checker @amphipodgirl.bsky.social

November is looking good for launch once I format the paperback.

Cephalopod-on-cephalopod romance with trans themes & ecoterrorism, coming your way soon!

I did some work on my ENEMY MINE but it's yuri and also the alien is a parasitic fungus living in the protagonist's brain (i'm trying to beat @danifinnwrites.bsky.social's weirdness quotient)

Grey Angel would be the best fit—it involves a lot of transition-related gendery stuff (and an “Angel” whose gender is, erm,)

I regret to inform you that “ACAB includes” jokes will persist hundreds of years into the future

I'm drafting again on Terra Flux, my gyndroid exobiologist x butch cyborg bodyguard planetary exploration romance WIP.

They're flirting in a valley full of fungal trees and lavender moss.

“I’ve erased the memory of whatever was said between—”
Dirk whacked her lightly on the shoulder. “Would I have found that amusing if I were a robot?”
“While robot is technically correct, gyndroid is the preferred term. Imagine if I referred to you as a mammal.”
Dirk put her hands up. “Don’t send the thought police after me.”
“I would never. ACAB includes the thought police.” It was part of an Internet dialect expansion she’d uploaded; she hoped she’d used it correctly.
Dirk’s sudden laughter showed her she had. “All right, Ms. Gyndroid, comedienne extraordinaire, where to?”

An hour until the sun went down, I started to shut down the office for the day. It had been nothing but petty complaints and requests to hurt people I’d never met, and I was more than ready to go home. As I closed the blinds—head in the clouds, wondering what kind of cuisine Galene would force on me tonight—the buzzer told me there was a visitor in my waiting room. Throwing the connecting door open, I was confronted by a girl in a bright blue dress who couldn’t have been older than eleven. I blinked a few times as she smiled up at me.
“Good evening, I hope I haven’t caught you at too inconvenient of an hour,” she said with the controlled tone of a librarian. I shook my head and held the door for her to walk into my office. “Thank you,” she said as she nodded her head politely and walked past me into the room. She allowed me to pull out her chair and she sat in it with one knee crossed over the other.
I sat and tried not to feel foolish having a consultation with a child. “What can I do for you, miss…?”
“Aeschylus.” I must have made a face, because then she explained, “The priests who look after me thought it was a funny name for a somber little girl. I quite like the way it sounds, though.”
I nodded. “It’s lovely. What brings you to my office, Miss Aeschylus?”

The Unicorn Machine snippet 🦄⚙️

A warehouse on the edges of the destroyed part of the city that is entirely too tall. Inside it is a hole in reality. It might be a small as an atom, but its halo long ago swallowed the neighborhood that once stood there and is growing to encompass the whole city.

I love how Boromir enjoins the soldiers to fight for Gondor because it was a beacon of light, music, and beauty and should be again.

If you’re gonna fight, those are pretty good things to fight for
