Hello y'all! Butterfly on a Wheel has been out for almost a year, but it's about to go on sale at Smashwords (starting 12/8). If you are interested in a coming-of-age tale about a messy pop-rock band fronted by a trans guy, you can find it here as well as at the 'Zon!

I'm about to be reeeal annoying about MonAct tomorrow—HOWEVER.

The near cataclysmic volume of annoyance may be eased the closer this bad boy gets to 100 backers.

It's currently at 84.

Y'all gotta promise to hit 87 while I'm online tho. For no particular reason.

“Fantasy books feel so empty lately.”

Not indie fantasy.

“Everyone’s just trying to rewrite ACOTAR.”

Not indie authors.

“No one’s writing anything new!”

Indie authors are.

Hi, just a friendly reminder that Freydis Moon just released an audiobook last week and that you should not buy purchase that book at all because Freydis a brownfishing white person who likes to bully their fellow trans and queer authors.

Pre-Order today at: ko-fi.com/vesperdoom
A black, green, and red swirled space background with two men in the foreground. The one on the left is a broad man with curly brown hair, freckles, a beard, and green eyes. He is wearing a dark blue jacket with golden cuffs and collar open over a black shirt and pants. He has an arm circled around the man on the left’s head. The man on the left is upside down. He is slender and has tawny skin, black hair, and brown eyes. He is wearing all black with cutouts on his shoulders. Below the figures are the words: METROPOLIS DOWN and VESPER DOOM.

My free 43-page guide to bridging the gap between digital games and physical spaces has been released.

Great for devs who want to bring indie games to local markets, shops, or spaces, and for organizers and business space owners to better understand indie devs!

It's my nightly "please back my book" appeal post. It's a cozy sci-fi novella about friendship & community with a little bit of dystopia. Hope in the face of hopelessness! There's all kinds of goodies for backing it, including a discount! Back it now: TheLuckyMachine.com
